Hello.
This patch implements LC_FSCTYPE for filename charset translation.
This enables for example to handle UTF-8 encoded filenames inside a
EUC-KR terminal. I believe that we're going to use UTF-8 for
filenames in near future for various reasons and libc should be able
to translate filenames such that applications using more traditional
charsets can deal with UTF-8 encoded filenames.
The implementation is still in alpha stage and the code needs more
verfication and comments. Also, it needs to be splited into
meaningful pieces before applied. It currently works only on
linux/i386 w/ linuxthreads.
I'm attaching the patch and LC_FSCTYPE.txt which describes the
problem, the solution LC_FSCTYPE implements and issues for discussion.
Please don't hesitate to comment.
For more information, please visit the following pages.

By the way, what are the purposes of ptw- and pt- objects while
building linuxthreads? I couldn't understand why they were there.
Can somebody give me a clue, please?
Thanks for the great work and please don't forget to CC me as I'm not
on the list.
