Description:
There is some confusion what the source encoding of AnsiToUTF8 is on non-windows platforms.
Please add a note or remark to http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/system/ansitoutf8.html, that is not necessarily the same as windows codepage 1252, but most like UTF8 on Mac OS X. This could prevent the misuse of the function to convert windows files to utf8 on Mac OS X.
