I asked a few weeks ago on standards@ why we weren't using Citrus
iconv, which is what NetBSD uses, and seems to be in a somewhat
better state than this. It also provides various wide character
conversion routines that overlap with what tjr@ has already done
in FreeBSD, so we'd have to sort that out. And we'd have to sort
out a gazillion ports that want -liconv.
I, for one, would love to see some iconv overlo^Wsupport in base. That
way, I could teach calendar(1) to translate stuff to LC_CTYPE, right now
the German calendar file is saved in Latin1 whereas I'm using UTF-8
terminals :/
Anorther approach would be to make calendar DTRT with UTF-8... one
step into this direction (german UTF-8 catalogs) is at
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/viewvc/base/user/netchild/calendar-utf8/
Bye,
Alexander.
