[Scummvm-devel] Including README translations

[Filippos Karapetis]

This conversion isn't needed at all for Windows.

Notepad can handle these files fine without any conversion. I've checked
them -
they don't include any BOM bytes, but again Notepad reads them fine.

The only reason I can think that this conversion is needed is for users of
legacy
Windows 98 systems, but as fuzzie noted, ScummVM would definitely not run
under Win98 anymore, since it's making direct calls to the Unicode API

Regards
Filippos
