UTF-8 and LATIN1

You may sometime encounter this error on de.oddb.org on Windows when starting up

 `initialize': invalid encoding ("utf8", "latin1") (Iconv::InvalidEncoding)

that means you have to take care of the following (the line is just an example where it appeared)

 C:/Ruby-1.8.6-oniguruma/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/de.oddb-2.0.0/lib/oddb/import/pharmnet.rb

on line

 16

Change

 utf8
 latin1

to

 UTF-8
 LATIN1

Install iconv for windows
