Abbreviation of "microsecond" in sane.ds

Is there a compelling reason why "microsecond" is abbreviated as "us"
instead of "μs"? This library doesn't correspond to any Windows
library, so we should be free to use the more correct abbreviation. Or
can sane.rc only accept ASCII characters?

I remember that there was a thread on wine-devel about that 1+ years
ago. You might want to search for that if nobody remembers.

Thanks for explaining this again. I didn't realize that there was an
en.po until now.

It sounds like it would be a good idea to start accepting UTF-8 in rc
files, or at least add a comment to this one explaining that it is
corrected in the po files.

Message ids have to be in ASCII. The po file takes care of mapping it to
the correct string.
