Yup, 1.4.1

Good. I was merely referring to the fact that the wscons FAQ listed
an sv encoding as being present without referring to a particular
release (in fact it's not present in any /release/), and while
pestering the most helpful people on #NetBSD@ircnet I got
the response that wscons will work exactly the same in 1.4.2 as
they do in 1.4.1 (which would mean no Swedish encoding).

Well, a Swedish encoding will be pretty much useless until
there's a terminal-emulation that supports 8bit (it would
probably just be identic to the existing partial danish one) since
7bit-only will still rule out any Scandinavian letters. (for
non-scandinavian people, remove i, y and u from the English
alphabet and try to write something and you get the idea... :-) ).

If "Swedish encoding in 1.4.2" means the vt100 (or any other we
can use) emulation goes 8bit then great(!) If not, I'm still offering
to do what I can to contribute to getting 8bit terminals in wscons.
I will fight for my едц to the bitter end: edv just doesn't cut it. :-)
