abandoning i18n/non-i18n mixed builds



Hello,

having a IRC discussion with Junichi, came to the following consens:

 - we should not try to build i18n and non-i18n version of dbootstrap at
   the same time. This have lead to confusion and runtime problems too
   often to risk such combinations in stable release
 - we should not make mixed builds. Soon, we have all slang-using
   programs in poor utf8 and non-utf8 version
 - if LC is set to true, only -utf8 versions have to be build, and vice
   versa
 - the vanilla flavor still does not support framebuffer. If FB is not
   present, or the user disables it with video=vga16:off, it should still
   work (*) with the default (english) locale (**)

(*) boxes in dbootstrap-ls look a bit ugly without framebuffer, but it
    does not hurt

(**) Some people set a diffent language setting and build without
     LANG_CHOOSER. This worked okay with latin1 languages in previous
     times, but now we have the -utf8 support and this should be used
     instead.

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
