[RFC PATCH] gitweb: use CGI with -utf8

From: Michał Kiedrowicz <michal.kiedrowicz@gmail.com>

I noticed that gitweb tries a lot to properly process UTF-8 data, for example it prints my name correctly in log and commit information, but it echos junk in the search field. It looks like:

	MichaÅ Kiedrowicz

I don't know CGI well and I never touched gitewb code, but I found this on http://www.lemoda.net/cgi/perl-unicode/index.html:

	use CGI '-utf8';
	my $value = params ('input');

I tried it and that fixed my problem. I'm not sure about the
consequences, maybe someone more experienced in CGI might help?
