Request for discussion - how to make MC unicode capable

[Pavel Tsekov <ptsekov gmx net>]

Hello,

I'd like to initiate a discussion on how to make MC
unicode deal with multibyte character sets. I'd like
to hear from the developers of the UTF-8 patch and
from the ncurses maintaner. Anyone else who can help
with their expertise is also welcome. This has been
a major drawback for quite some time and it needs to
be addressed ASAP.

Thanks!
