[nem-en] Language support and BOM

[Alexey Borzenkov]

I had once proposed a patch that implemented autodetection similar to VS and
MS C# in Nemerle (and it's still available at
http://snaury.googlepages.com/nemerle-encoding-detection.patch). But it was
rightfully rejected because of its complexity (it was more than reading
files as array[byte]). Btw, VS does not treat files as encoded in current
encoding. When file is correct utf-8 (*not* ASCII) it detects that it's
utf-8 and parses/saves it as utf-8 (Options->Text Editor->Auto-detect UTF-8
encoding without signature is checked by default). However if file is new or
if file was ASCII it saves it in current multi-byte. I also believe it's
possible to change file encoding from within VS somehow...
