[screen-devel] Statusline showencoding patch

[Yi-Jheng Lin]

Dear,
    I'm so glad that screen supports the encoding transformation. That's really 
a great function for me to switch between Big5 & UTF-8 environment! But 
sometimes I may be confused "What encoding am I using?". Although, I can use 
"Ctrl-a i" to get the information of current window (including the encoding 
info).  I was wondering if the statusline could show the encoding of current 
window, so I patch it!

    With this patch, I could add a new parameter "%e" to statusline for showing 
the encoding of current window. This might not be a good solution, but it does 
work!

    The following is the patch.

    I would like to see this function in future version. :)
