Subject: [sup-talk] Want utf-8 ?

Hi,

I quickly hacked utf-8 support in sup. My first modification aimed at
allowing Unicode alias in the contact manager. I succeeded in doing this and
also enabled utf-8 support in the inbox-mode (and probably in some other
place)...

How to ?
=======

- After installing ncurses, go to ~GEM_HOME/gems/ncurses-0.9.1 and apply
extconf.patch
- make, make install you now have a ncursesw ruby library

- again, go to ~GEM_HOME/gems/sup- 0.1/lib and apply patch sup.rb.patch
- run sup

sup should now display accented keys correctly in the inbox mode. move to
the contact manager 'C', go to some contact, press 'a' and type stuff with
accent (like "ch?rie"). The accent should display normally in the input
field AND in the contact manager.

the sup.rb patch only enforces a call to setlocale in order to take the
current user locale in account (needed for ncurses to display correctly
accented characters). All the rest is done via my ncurses patch (which I'm
about to suggest to the ncurses maintainer)

Please let me know how it goes for you !

Thanks for doing this! I can't wait to try it out.
