I think it's good, since incompatibility with older wscons.conf is 
unavoidable anyway.

So I'd like to modify `font' line format from 

#	name	width	height	enc	file
font	latin1	8	16	iso	/usr/share/wscons/fonts/iso.816

to

#	name	width	height	fstchar	enc		file
font 	latin1	8	16	-	ISO-8859-1	/usr/share/wscons/fonts/iso.816

After this change, encodings `iso' and `iso7' will be no longer
valid. Is it okay? (Of course, I won't bring it into -current until
I have committed the kernel part of uwscons first.)
