Comment(by mnk):

 Still, most of current utf8 patches are for slang only.

 And one more thing, something I noticed back when I was testing the only
 ncurses utf8 patch, I'm aware of, it was back in
 http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mc-devel/2007-November/msg00053.html :
 there's a display problem with ncurses, that shows on small sized
 x-terminals;
 while much of that post are ramblings, I don't think it can be fixed in
 mc,
 at least without major rewrite, slang interface was simply written bit
 more complex
 and handles this case better.
