	While I agree with u_int32_t, please do not hardcode interpretation
	of wchar_t into Unicode (glibc does this and I do't like it). 
	There are many character sets/encodings that does not fit well into
	Unicode.  Also, with runelocale library (which is in 4.4BSD
	distribution I believe) we do not need to hardcode internal
	representation.

	We (a group of Japanese guys) have some diffs to make runelocale
	library handle stateful multibyte encoding, and hoping to import
	those into *BSD.
