The plan is not to go towards wchar, but to use UTF-8 instead. The work is
halfway completed, but halted since mid-August, for lack of time. If you
want to pick up the work and finish, you are more than welcome to do so
(I'll give you the details on what needs to be done). Completing UTF-8
support will be beneficial not only to the GNOME2 goal, but also to the
current Windows and GNOME/GTK1 builds.
