I don't understand this. Adding support for non-US character sets
to cygwin and newlib is a programming project. It requires someone
who understands about this stuff but there should be a lot of you
out there.
I'm not going to do it because I have no experience in doing it
and little interest in learning how to do it.
I would certainly be interested in seeing cygwin and newlib improve,
though.
This project seems to attract large numbers of consumers but only
a miniscule number of producers. That's the basic problem.
