Description Jeremy Katz 2005-12-01 22:38:00 UTC 
slang 2.x doesn't automatically determine if it should enable UTF-8 mode causing
crappy line-drawing code in all slang-using apps.  

slang should be figuring out on its own if it should enable its UTF-8 mode based
on LANG (... or just have it always enabled)

This is a regression from 1.4.x

patch for this issue

This fixes it - it calls the function that sets up the UTF-8 support based on
locale.

Thanks.

We call now:
( SLcurses_initscr() ) -> SLsmg_init_smg() -> SLutf8_enable() -> utf8_enable()
and then query:
      nl_langinfo (LC_CTYPE);
      getenv("LC_ALL");
      getenv("LC_CTYPE");
      getenv("LANG");
