Your patch is obviously good, but it is not quite perfect.

This exact string ("(“this documentation”)") has already caused the
trouble in https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13826 where
it refers to a file directly downloaded from Microsoft documentation.
In that case we don't want edit the file. Instead we do something
like this:

-    input_file = open(input_file_name, "r")
+    input_file = io.open(input_file_name, "rt", encoding='utf8')

source4/setup/extended-rights.ldif doesn't look to be directly
downloaded or machine generated, but it looks *close*, and there might
be others we haven't found yet.

So, my question is: does adding "encoding='utf8'" in the right place
in read_and_sub_file() also solve the problem?

If it does, I would prefer that.

cheers,
Douglas
