Which covers part of the unicode support question you had, Josh. (Sorry
for not getting at this any sooner!)

What I wonder is, how does gettext handle unicode? Maybe I should RTFM
myself, but just in case somebody has already experience in that
direction.

In case it would return unicode strings somehow packed into a char*
array, most of Adonthell would need no change. Only the window system
that finally displays the text needs to understand unicode. The rest
would just pass it through.
