I don't know if he follows the i18n list. Porting CDE and Motif was the exact reason that those functions exist :) That project is still quite alive and kicking, even if delayed a bit. I have been meaning to finish up the wcs*() functions, and port the NLS support from OpenBSD into Free. I am eager to see that a general interest in this exists. I have been meaning to subscribe to the i18n list, as I knew wcs*() would be brought up there sooner or later :) My next message will be to subscribe to that list.

Last I knew, David Cross (aka 'crossd') still intended to get the above work installed in freebsd. I think he was waiting for some other piece to be installed (the name of which I don't remember, but he's mentioned it a few times in hackers or current in the past few months). He recently got commit-ability (ahem), so there may be some progress on this soon.

Reference to Unicode being controlled by Microsoft is a prominent example. As for the list of problems with Unicode given on that page - all of the items in the list are arguable and, IMO, all can be refuted. I do have first-hand experience of working with Unicode consortium (I have contributed to extensions of Tibetan block in 3.0). I want to say for the record that people from Unicode/WG2 I worked with were very open-minded, helpful and professional. Oh, and none of them was from Microsoft ;-).

If you do a "nm /usr/lib/libxgp4.a" you will see that this library doesn't contains functions with these names.

Assuming any of those have it, in the first place. I'm fairly sure,
NetBSD and OpenBSD don't.

As was recently posted to freebsd-java:
There's a "wchar" implementation available on
http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~crossd/FreeBSD/wcs-19990606.tar.gz
I have tried it myself and it works as expected, meaning
that I was able to successfully link a Motif program.

It's probably not being archived properly. I subscribed to this list
on the 24th of april and the first message was on the 5th of may.
% grep '^From ' freebsd-i18n | wc -l
19
Nothing was said about wc* in those 19 messages anyway.

There's a mailing list, freebsd-i18n, that seems to be very active
regarding this topic (the archives show 0 posts).
The latest I found on it (searching the archives) is this:
http://www.whizkidtech.net/i18n/wc/
As far as I can tell, nothing's been done since last May.

Wide-char support and libc
Anyone like the idea of adding wide char support to our libc? Maybe
we could port it over from {Net,Open}BSD or BSDi. This would add the
header file , etc.
