Do you mean _NL_CTYPE_CODESET_NAME?  That is in my langinfo.h, but it
isn't documented in my glibc info manual.

Anyway, thanks.  I'll update my patch to do this.

I don't know how Mule does it.  For Java this would have to be in a
special comment or something like that.  Even then I don't see how it
can work unless you pick a default encoding, like ASCII.
