Update the description of UTF-8 support in Linux-2.6.18
Sorry, the patch for the text that I submitted earlier is incomplete.
The following textual issue has to be resolved.
In LFS-6.2, copying-and-pasting of non-ASCII characters with GPM worked
because of the kernel patch. So, no locale-related issues were recorded
in BLFS on the GPM page. Now it is broken, because the patch is no
longer there, and upstream doesn't accept the patch.
The issue has to be documented in both LFS and BLFS. LFS should say that
for any real work with UTF-8 (even editing simple text!) the X window
system is mandatory because of this. BLFS should say on the GPM page
that GPM can copy-and-paste only ASCII characters if the console is in
UTF-8 mode with LFS SVN (but not 6.2).
