The branch is ready to get merged into the trunk and we can deal with the fallout from that. Unfortunately this is *not* quite as finished as I'd like it to be, but it does work and things are stubbed in enough to let folks with more time can fill in the blanks. Basically everything works except the dynamic loading of encoding and charset libraries -- right now the basic ones are yanked in at compile-time. The string.c guts likely have more knowledge of things than they ought to as well, but that's not going to get shaken out until we have a real variable-width encoding and multi-codepoint charset working. (Like, say, unicode... :)
Anyway, I'd like to get this merged in. If a few folks could try and give it a whirl I'd much appreciate it.
