Thanks for the info. Nice to see that were are not totally
unreasonable when we think about kernel code calling wcwidth :-)

Please don't do this, Markus. Look at a binary-only distribution of
Solaris instead. It's legally too dangerous if people who had access
to the source of a non-open-source OS continue to contribute to Linux/
GNU/XFree86. Some Linux kernel contributors who had access to parts of
the Windows sources have been legally attacked by Microsoft for
copyright violation. It's hard to refute, if you ever signed the piece
of agreement necessary to get access to a non-open-source OS.
