Who's going to work on newt-utf8? As I'm going to work on newt this week,
to build a -pic version, and fix a few serious bugs, I may as well
integrate the utf8 patch, and use a "#define" to build both the
"simple" and the -utf8 version from the same sources.
 
I'm assuming we are talking about the patch included in Bug#91963.
