Yes, the UTF-8 support is planned to be included in mc-4.7.0 as far as I'm having a look into the TODO list. Pasha, you can use benefits of the UTF-8 patch in the Fedora Core mc. Even if it lacks a general concept, the important thing for you is that it works pretty well and I'm happy to see only a few bugreports related to UTF-8 patch coming recently from FC users. I was busy with my Ph.D. studies so I added some of fixes to the UTF-8 patch and only a few new features, so Jakub and Vladimir did the main work on the UTF-8 patch. It needs to be rewritten completely to be included to the upstream mc. Since I defended my Ph.D. last week, I plan to do the reimplementation of it in order to be included upstream as I have some time to spare. The main change would be likely to introduce new utf8.c and utf8.h source files with definitions needed to avoid the #ifdef UTF-8 hacks in the patch we have now. But it needs a discussion with Roland, Leonard and other interested developers.
