patch to set @documentencoding ISO-8859-1

"emerge maxima" with emacs USE flag enabled results in this error:

utf8 "\xF8" does not map to Unicode at /usr/share/texinfo/Texinfo/ParserNonXS.pm line 1796, <FH> line 111.

This is due to the name "Morten Høgholm" being included as ISO-8859 text.
The texinfo file is being treated as UTF-8.  Declaring the documentencoding as ISO-8859-1 fixes the issue.  Patch attached.
