  Note that mbstate_t is usred in lib/fnmatch.c and lib/regex.c but in
  2.4.4, there was no autoconf check for it. Any reason the autoconf
  check was introduced?
 
 It's used conditionally based on this check (and some others), though
 fnmatch.c has it disabled for some reason.  (I don't think it should; we
 very well might have MBCS filenames locally.  I occasionally do, with
 UTF-8, but I'm not using the replacement versions of these functions so
 it doesn't affect me.)  We use MBCS functions directly now, so we need to
 know if it's available.  (We assume the FTP server's terminal encoding is
 the same as the local terminal's; not a very good assumption, but it's the
 best we can do in a terminal interface.)

So do I make a separate C, C++ autoconf check for mbstate_t?

 Is there any way to get these particular headers to define mbstate_t
 properly in C++?  It'd be nice to avoid the extra complication of
 needing to test for mbstate_t differently in C and C++.

Er, I guess that could be hidden inside config.h--but it'd be nice for
it to *work* in both C and C++, if possible.
