Hello Wilfred!

 For browsing the nodelist, the position of the BOM when used, should be the
 first three bytes in the file. That however breaks makenl. The danger of
 BOM creeping in is mainly at the start of the included files.
 Another place where de BOM may cause havoc is with manually maintained
 segments without the headerline. That will probably cause makenl to mark
 the line with the segment host as in error, unless the BOM is directly 
followed by cr/lf.
