        There are several Japanese people working on stateful multibyte char
        support.  Existing codebase like glibc only supports stateless
        multibyte char.  People using iso-2022 variants (Japan, Korea,
        China, you name it) need stateful multibyte char support.
        We have some code fragment used in various software packages
        like multilingual vi or multilingual schedule management tool, and
        we would like to clean up those to fit into src/lib/whatever.
        I'll be talking about this issue a bit in my presentation at Usenix/
        Freenix99 (titled "multilingual vi") so come to presentation
        room or catch me somewhere in the conference site.

        (again, there's language barrier problem...  I think we should sort
        it out.  I believe the best way is to ban Japanese-language mailing
        list for the project, but other volunteers may have some trouble)
