slang1-ja, or make a new slang1-wide package with these patches?
It's hardly feasible to make a version of slang1 that works in UTF-8
and is bug-free and binary-compatible with ordinary slang1.
I shall try to produce an up-to-date slang-1.4.4-ege.diff soon.

the install program can display wide characters, such as Japanese or
Chinese (Big5 *and* GB2312 encoding).
