I understand that cygwin has limited support for locale,
but even so, many small utilities in cygwin packages can
work with UTF-8, such as sed, awk, perl, ruby, grep, cat,
head, tail, less(with LESSCHARSET="utf-8") and so on.
These are the things used very often
inside xterm, and that is when "-u8" is needed.
I will be glad if UTF-8 support is turned back on again,
maybe in future updates.
That's up to the (non-existent) Cygwin-X maintainer.
It's not hard to compile your own copy of xterm however (it's one of the
platforms that I usually test-compile on a new patch).
