Minimal program to show text inputs on standard output

TextInput event text is incorrect when using dead keys.

When I press the key 'é', 'é' is inserted, which is correct.
When I press the keys '´' (dead acute), then 'e', 'é' is inserted instead of 'é'.

The letter built with a dead key is mis-encoded. I have the same result applying a WINDOWS-1252 to UTF-8 charset conversion to an UTF-8 string:
> $ echo é | iconv -f WINDOWS-1252 -t UTF-8 
> é

I join the program I used to reproduce the bug.
If that helps, I am using Arch Linux.

This should be fixed in the latest SDL snapshot:
http://www.libsdl.org/tmp/SDL-2.0.zip

Please reopen this bug if that's not the case.

Thanks!
