mc doesn't work in UTF-8 locales.
A few days I hacked mc up so that at least the things I use often in mc
sort-of work with UTF-8, you can find the patch in
ftp://people.redhat.com/jakub/mc/
But view is not done at all and there is still a lot of places which need
changing.
The first thing to decide is what all locales mc wants to support.
E.g. supporting just ASCII compatible charsets (like UTF-8) is easier
than supporting ASCII incompatible ones.
