 .. which stops the index page from rendering properly.  :(  The following
 fixes it:

 {{{
         self.send_header("Content-type", ctype)
 }}}
 to
 {{{
         self.send_header("Content-type", ctype + ";charset=utf8")
 }}}

 .. but that's not useful, because SimpleHTTPServer.py already exists on
 shipped builds without the patch.  Options:

  * ship a local version of SimpleHTTPServer.py with the patch (6KB)
  * find a way to tell Firefox to force UTF8 for all pages visited in the
 Wikipedia activity; this should be safe for our pages.
