Title: Now UTF-16 handling EOL fixup patch

Passes the boost SVN Dave sent me. I now know why my boost svnsynced copy didn't fault - I didn't sync sandbox, and sandbox is what contains the UTF-16.

BTW a quick note: some of the warnings about having to convert EOL in some of the sandbox files refer to filenames saying something like "bad_end_of_line_test.txt". I am almost certain that files named like that have intentionally incorrect EOLs and they want them to stay that way.

I'd recommend those affected to not use .txt for such test files (which stops Boost2Git messing with the file), and it might be an idea to add a new "binary text" extension to gitattributes for that sort of file to ensure git doesn't try fiddling with the contents either during checkout.
