delano/redis-dump — Issue #7: Working with non-UTF8 encoding

I store hashes in Redis by serializing them with the help of [MessagePack](https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack).

The serialized objects typically look like like some variation of this: `\x93\x01\x02\x03`

The problem is it completely breaks the usability of redis-dump because Yajl throws a parse error when I try to re-load the file:

ERROR (Yajl::ParseError): lexical error: invalid bytes in UTF8 string.
421,"type":"zset","value":[["??foo?403089412158?bar?
(right here) ------^

Any suggestions on how to approach this issue?
