This has historic reasons. They are stuck with the locale dependent
wchar_t because the Xlib i18n model they are using for the ja/ko/zh
depends on it. X expects wchar_t values in locales using the EUC
charsets to use the bytes of the multibyte EUC values.
I'm pretty sure they want to get away from this asap.
