I do not know exactly. But I think that there might be a system without
iconv command. So that strings should be converted to UTF-8 at runtime,
after all emelfm2 already uses convertion functionality from glib.

Well, in build.h I found only two strings - BUILDSTAMP and BUILDDATE. It is
unlikely that someone wants to set PREFIX or *_DIR in encoding other then ASCII.
