334dee64a2 FAQ: Repeat advice to use ./run.

c4dc70f8c4 podwrapper: Remove =encoding from input files and add it back in podwrapper.
This changes podwrapper so that the input (POD) files should not
contain an =encoding directive.  However they must be UTF-8.
Podwrapper then adds the '=encoding utf8' directive back during final
generation.

This in particular avoids problems with nested =encoding directives in
fragments.  These break POD, and are undesirable anyway.
