Fixed in r309cf0f

SDL, X11, GCU and Windows ports supported, with partial changes to OSX. GTK port status unclear, but shouldn't take too much to finish off.

Internal representation of all display characters and textblocks is now wchar_t, with conversion from UTF-8 when strings are appended, when data is read from edit files, and conversion to UTF-8 in file output and SDL output. Curses, X11 and Windows output the wide characters directly.
