Every once in a while I get a request for better international support.
I'd like to help out but I haven't had a chance to learn how to do
this in X or ncurses.

(I am going to look at improving it in the near future because xwpe
would stop loading some of the fanwor files when it found a german
character.  But I doubt this will result in much more than loading the
file.)
