[MiNT] /kern/welcome is latin1
Hello.
When starting FreeMiNT, the (C) characters are displayed as expected on
the BIOS console.
When doing later "cat /kern/welcome" (either in TosWin2 terminal or BIOS
console), the same text is displayed, but the (C) characters are wrong.
By looking at sys/kernget.c, we can see that kern_get_welcome()
translates the original text to latin1. This is done only for the
/kern/welcome virtual file.
Any good reason for that nonsense?
I would prefer to remove that charset translation, so the message would
display fine in any case.
