Hi,

I am a user of Rxvt.  I use Rxvt with Japanese (kanji)-enabled since 
I am a Japanese speaker.

I am using a Debian GNU/Linux distribution.  Debian aims to be an 
internationalized distribution and has a 'rxvt-ml' package.  The
package contains 'krxvt', 'crxvt-gb', 'crxvt-big5', and 'grxvt'.
The 'krxvt' is what I am using exactly.

Though I don't have a skill to do that, I have a comment on Rxvt.
Now Rxvt can handle a few special encodings.  However, the encoding
has to be specified on compile.  If the encoding can be specified
with X resource, locale (LC_CTYPE), and/or invocation option, Rxvt
will be much better.  (And Debian will have single binary of Rxvt.)
This would be important if Rxvt will support many encodings in future.

How do you think about this idea?  I hope you like this idea and
implement it on future Rxvt, though I don't know it is difficult or not.

Sorry not to include a patch...  Though I am trying to read the source
code, it is too difficult for me.  (I have to study on X11 programing
first.)
