Can't they be merged and use #ifdef's to enable the multibyte support?
Why not have default support for multibyte default? It doesn't hurt, and when we use just one 'version' of code, we'll prolly end up with less bugs. (And #ifdefs may lead to weird errors, just like the mkdir() thing in debug mode for FreebSD).
It's possible to merge, but we need to rewrite code so that we can handle multiple input encoding. For example, if we are developing a web site for Japanese and Kerean language, current automatic encoding transalation code does not work well... Rui has plan to extend the translation code, so I would say we are better to wait a bit. -- Yasuo Ohgaki
