NEWT Support for UTF-8 and Fribidi

[Anmar Oueja <anmar@canada.com>]

Hello All:

After many tries to get fribidi integrated into d-i, we gave up and 
decided to do it our selves.

Here is what I need to know first before we hack newt or cdebconf/newt.c  :

1. is Newt UTF-friendly ? and if it is who is the code maintainer ? and 
is there a mailing list for it. I could not find any

2. is libtextwrap UTF-8 friendly ?

3. Should we have newt lib or should we hack cdebconf/newt.c file ?
 Most likely we will need to hack newt lib. then were should we start.

4. is there s CVS we need to check changes in and who should we talk to 
to give them the patches.

We are willing to put the work in but require some direction so we can 
get the darn things done ASAP.

Your help is greately appreciated.
