- initialise blank mbstate_t using memset rather than an ad-hoc
initialiser.
- expand the OMIT_UTMP ifdefs to enclose a load of entire functions
that would generate `static function never called' warnings if
left as empty shells.
- couple of other fiddly things.

feels strongly that it should be easy to make _all_ your
applications work in UTF-8 mode, without having to remember a switch
for each one. Every application should simply note a UTF-8 locale
setting and switch into UTF-8 mode automatically.
Therefore, for the Unix port only, there's now a checkbox, enabled
by default, which causes the drop-down Translation box to be
overridden if the locale indicates UTF-8. Anyone who doesn't like
this, or doesn't like MGK, is welcome to turn it straight back off.
I'm not _completely_ convinced by MGK's argument myself; for
xterm/pterm to do _useful_ UTF-8 you also need to specify a decently
Unicode-capable font, and there's no way _that_ can be automagically
done on noticing a locale setting. But it's a de facto standard
(i.e. xterm does it :-) so I might as well at least be _able_ to
support it.

had to move another of its values out into wincfg.c - paradoxically,
this was the `font has X encoding' option! (Because the Unix font
handling code expects to be able to tell for _itself_ whether it has
a font with X-encoded line drawing glyphs.)

former by simply removing it; the latter by adding an enumeration
function to libcharset.) This has had slight `const' repercussions
on cp_name() and cp_enumerate() which might break the Mac build.

just done this the very simple way - bundle all the globals into a
data structure and pass pointers around. One particularly ugly wart
is that wc_to_mb now takes a pointer to this structure as an
argument (optional, may be NULL, and unused in any Unicode layer
that's even marginally less of a mess than the Windows one). I do
need to do this properly at some point, but for now this should just
about be adequate. As usual, the Mac port has not been updated.

relevant bits of it passed in to init_ucs(). (Actually I pass in all
of it in the Windows version, since it's a bit hairy in there.)

font whose encoding comes up as CS_NONE - but this is also true for
iso10646-1 fonts, since libcharset doesn't support wide-character
encodings! Hence UTF-8 cut and paste was enabled in ordinary modes,
but disabled in UTF-8 mode, which was a bit embarrassing. Now we
have a dedicated flag variable indicating direct-to-font mode.
[originally from svn r2425]
know what that encoding actually is, we can do our best to support
additional charsets (VT100 linedrawing, SCO ACS, UTF-8 mode) using
the available characters; if we don't, we fall back to a mode where
we disable all Unicode cut-and-paste and assume any Unicode
character is undisplayable.

does UTF-8 copy and paste (falling back to normal strings if
necessary), it understands X font encodings and translates things
accordingly so that if you have a Unicode font you can ask for
virtually any single-byte encoding and get it (Mac-Roman pterm,
anyone?), and so on. There's work left to be done (wide fonts for
CJK spring to mind), but I reckon this is a pretty good start.

lpage_send out into the line discipline, making them _clients_ of
the Unicode layer rather than part of it. This means they can access
ldisc->term, which in turn means I've been able to remove the
temporary global variable `term'. We're slowly getting there.

all the global and function-static variables out of terminal.c into
a dynamically allocated data structure. Note that this does not yet
confer the ability to run more than one of them in the same process,
because other things (the line discipline, the back end) are still
global, and also in particular the address of the dynamically
allocated terminal-data structure is held in a global variable
`term'. But what I've got here represents a reasonable stopping
point at which to check things in. In _theory_ this should all still
work happily, on both Unix and Windows. In practice, who knows?
[originally from svn r2115]
The current pty.c backend is temporarily a loopback device for
terminal emulator testing, the display handling is only just enough
to show that terminal.c is functioning, the keyboard handling is
laughable, and most features are absent. Next step: bring output and
input up to a plausibly working state, and put a real pty on the
back to create a vaguely usable prototype. Oh, and a scrollbar would
be nice too.
In _theory_ the Windows builds should still work fine after this...
