I did this both with 1.6, and with 2.0. There are stil some smaller bugs in 
NetBSD libiconv, but it works well otherwise. I had to go get ja_JP.UTF-8 by 
hand for both versions, and "compile" to LC_CTYPE. I think I pulled it out of 
-current directories.

On V1.6 I had to recompile tcsh, for sure, but fairly sure "ls" already had -w. 
Perhaps it was a 1.6.3 addition or similar.

I think I wrote down some short-notes for myself so I didn't have to go through 
it again (and incidentally, I just received my new desktop today, so I *will* go 
through it today again :) )

      -w      Force raw printing of non-printable characters.  This is the
              default when output is not to a terminal.

As to when it went in, not sure.
