I wonder what the best approach is to getting it included. I also
think its a very valuable contribution. I think we need to first get
the Tcl/Tk only changes done, since that was the mandate of the pd-
devel 0.41 effort. Then once Miller has accepted those changes, then
we can start with the C modifications there. So how to proceed next,
I think is based on how eager you are, Bryan, to getting this in a
regular build.
One option is making a pd-devel-utf8 branch, another is posting these
patches to the patch tracker and waiting for Miller to make his next
update with the Pd-devel Tcl-Tk code.
Maybe we can get Miller to chime in on this topic.
