Thank you for the clear options.
I was hoping for some magic compile flag to fix this on MSVC 2010, but
apparently i'm out of luck.

The only option i seem to have left for 2010 are apparently:
- Making sure the source files are UTF-8 formatted (most is ascii at the
moment)
- Using tr("Coördinaat"); as opposed to tr("Co\u00F6rdinaat");, that does
work, but is not preferred.
