Yup. > I ran into serious problems with the Iconv transcoder (did nothing > with ICU, btw), as multibyte-char supports seems differently on > FreeBSD (esp. mbstowcs() acts very differently than the Linux version, > towupper() and iswspace() may be substituted by toupper() and > isspace(), as they may be able to handle wide-chars as well (as far as > I could tell). Ah. If they can handle wide-chars then that would solve one of the problems I'm having. What wcs are you using? I'm building under FreeBSD 3.2 and it doesn't have one as standard. > Please give me a quick update, about your work, and tell me how I > could use it or contribute to it.

This has also got links to my patch against Xerces 1.0.1 and the modified version of David Cross' libwcs that I'm using.
