Hello there,

I just made a major commit to SVN, containing the latest features and
tweaks in preparation for htop 1.0.

Please give it a try and let me know if you spot any problems. There
are new CPU meters (contributed by Wim Heirman) for machines with
large numbers of CPU. With an empty ~/.htoprc these should be detected
and automatically enabled.

I also modified the configure script so that it tries to enable UTF-8
by default (motivated by the tree-drawing code contributed by Bin
Guo), and tries to use the native Linux sched_setaffinity function
instead of the hwloc library. My plan is to remove the embedded hwloc
library from the sources. My recommendation for distro packagers is to
use the native affinity support. It should work with all modern
kernels/glibc's out there, and it makes htop noticeably lighter. The
motivation for using PLPA (later switched to hwloc) was
incompatibilities between kernel 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 APIs for CPU
affinity: this shouldn't be a problem nowadays, but I will keep
linking to hwloc as an option if anyone still needs this. If you have
any information or opinions on this matter, please let me know.

You can fetch the latest SVN code with:

svn co https://htop.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/htop/trunk htop

I plan to release htop 1.0 real soon, so I thank you in advance for
any and all feedback.
