stability and so

Dudes,
I plan to check in the wide character stream stuff soon. It works for
the test cases I have so far and there should be no regressions in the
single byte character streams. But nevertheless the library will not
be fully functional for some time since I had to break the locale code
to avoid ugly temporary hacks. All will work soon again as soon as
I'm also able to check in the locale changes I have here. This might
take one or two weeks (hopefully not longer).
The consequence is that the mainline CVS version will not be usable
for real life for some time. I don't think this is a problem but if
somebody is of a different opinion speak up now. It's far too long
that I had the changes only locally available here. I now need help
with the testing and with documenting the new functions. This is
where I hope you can help.
We still have the 2.1 branch from which there will be a release as
soon as I find the time so instability for some time shouldn't be a
problem.
OK?
