Thanks for the quick effort! But I'm not sure right now whether these
patches may do more harm than good. I don't think I want to push them
unless someone weighs in on whether these patches are acceptable on
systems without the wc functions. I'd be much happier with an
fgetwc/ungetwc that reads simple chars and runs them through a
mbrtowc/wcrtomb loop (which mutt already provides). Or maybe we can
just steal code from uclibc or something?
