So now I'm curious.=20
What, exactly, is this modules list supposed to tell us?

The list on my machine looks very much like the one on yours.
The curious thing is that Japanese/Chinese character support is
listed nowhere in it. Why is this curious? Because my machine is in fact
configured for Japanese, and the Chinese characters are rendered nicely
in wxWidgets.  So at the least it seems the module list is an
incomplete description of the actual capabilities.

=46urthermore, to the extent that these various character sets are all
implemented via UTF-8,  why would one need separate modules anyhow?
