Locale support. I'm checking this in to clean up fall-out in-tree, but
it looks pretty good. Basically, the -Tlocale option propogates into
term_ascii.c, where we set locale-specific console call-backs IFF (1)
setlocale() works; (2) locale support is compiled in (see Makefile for
-DUSE_WCHAR); (3) the internal structure of wchar_t maps directly to
Unicode codepoints as defined by __STDC_ISO_10646__; and (4) the console
supports multi-byte characters.
To date, this configuration only supports GNU/Linux. OpenBSD doesn't
export __STDC_ISO_10646__ although I'm told by stsp@openbsd.org that it
should (it has the correct map). Apparently FreeBSD is the same way.
NetBSD? Don't know. Apple also supports this, but doesn't define the
macro. Special-casing!
Benchmark: -Tlocale incurs less than 0.2 factor overhead when run
through several thousand manuals when UTF8 output is enabled. Native
mode (whether directly -Tascii or through no locale or whatever) is
UNCHANGED: the function callbacks are the same as before.
Note. If the underlying system does NOT support STDC_ISO_10646, there
is a "slow" version possible with iconv or other means of flipping from
a Unicode codepoint to a wchar_t.
