I found this while building webkit-clutter which also uses those scripts:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "../Tools/gtk/generate-gtkdoc", line 296, in <module>
    saw_webkit1_warnings = generate_doc(generator)

Seems like another option would be:

export PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

I think relying on setting something on the environment is not that great =/

This approach seems fine to me, but can we move this to generate-gtkdoc?

I did before I uploaded the patch, following our discussion on IRC =)
