Hi,

I have extended the patches from RedHat to support UTF-8 in
input widget, viewer and editor.

The patches are here: http://www.suse.de/~nadvornik/mc.html

Input widget and viewer uses directly UTF-8, editor uses
wchar_t internaly and performs conversion on reading and writing files.

Bugs and missing features:
  - portability (It currently does not compile without patched slang)
  - better integration with HAVE_CHARSET option
  - support for characters with wcwidth() > 1

Can these patches be included in future mc releases after these issues 
are fixed?
