I guess it's not an urgent problem and with upcoming glib 1.4 we'll
get nice unicode module, so we can be independent from platform
and have a better framework to deal with different charsets.
I should mention, that MC wasn't(and still not completly) 8-bit
clean quite recently - I've commited patches to work with russian
filenames and strings in the input less than year ago.
And noone complained before :) So, I hope, we can wait a bit untill
new version of glib will be released.
Also, I don't remember claims that Slang is UTF8 or UCS16 safe..
Regards,
Timur.
