Here's the conversation i had with ndurner about my patches to PlibC
that add utf-8 support for W32:

2011-12-27 15:50:17 LRN: ndurner, when will you have time to check
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3465706&group_id=137319&atid=738312
?
2011-12-27 16:59:29 ndurner: LRN: early next year
2011-12-27 17:00:00 LRN: "early" as in "January 1, 10 AM"? :)
2011-12-27 17:19:16 ndurner: hehe, no ;-)
2011-12-27 17:19:22 ndurner: End of January erliest

Yeah, it's been more than a year. He never reviewed the patch.
After a while it became obvious that this isn't going forward, so we
just said "to hell with it", and updated PlibC-dependent packages to
use my patched version, even though the patch was not accepted in
PlibC SVN.
You can fetch the patches i use (along with the buildscript) from [1].
Mostly it's the utf8ization patch, but also some fixes on top of it.

Now, i've looked at your github commits, and there a whole page of them.
Once i have some time, i'll try to review them and, if everything's
ok, use them myself.

Sadly, can't do anything about PlibC SVN, you'd have to ask ndurner,
if he ever comes out of coma.

That said, we may just fork PlibC on gitorious, forget about ndurner,
and call it a day. Or plead our case to sourceforge admins and get
commit access to PlibC SVN repository. Or just ask ndurner nicely.
