Feeding any file encoded in 8 bit locales such as KOI8-RU
to sort utility running under UTF-8 locale produces astonishing
result of recoding the output to UTF-8. To counter that, just
run sort under 'C' locale for now.
Off by default, build behaves normally.
WITH_META_MODE we get auto objdir creation, the ability to
start build from anywhere in the tree.
Still need to add real targets under targets/ to build packages.

variants. This allows usable file system images (i.e. those with both a
shell and an editor) to be created with only one copy of the curses library.

Add an option WITHOUT_NCURSESW to suppress building and linking to
libncursesw. While wide character support it useful we'd like to
only need one ncurses library on embedded systems.

This is the gsoc-2011 project to clean up and backport multibyte support
from other nvi forks in a form we can use.
USE_WIDECHAR is on unless building for the rescue crunchgen. This should
allow editing in the native locale encoding.
USE_ICONV depends on make.conf having 'WITH_ICONV=YES' for now. This
adds the ability to do things like edit a KOI8-R file while having $LANG
set to (say) en_US.UTF-8. iconv is used to transcode the characters for
display.
Other points:
* It uses gencat and catopen/etc instead of homegrown msg catalog stuff.
* A lot of stuff has been trimmed out, eg: the perl and tcl bindings which
we could never use in base anyway.
* It uses ncursesw when in widechar mode. This could be interesting.

"The unifdef utility exits 0 if the output is an exact copy of the input,
1 if not, and 2 if in trouble."
This causes an 'Error code 1 (ignored)' in the world output, which upsets
the whereintheworld scripts that the tinderboxes use.
However, this stuff here is a relic. We do not enable HAVE_TCL_INTERP
nor HAVE_PERL_INTERP.. The Makefile hooks to turn them on have gone ages
ago, and this stuff was here for release building purposes only. Rather
than fight with the tinderbox builds, clean house a bit and remove the
last remaining unused relics of this stuff.
