Applied. How about the other small cleanups that I mentioned in <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2009-01/msg00012.html>? Here is a proposed patch. The comment in glibc ("The GNU C Library uses UTF8 multibyte encoding") is actually wrong, since glibc supports locales in BIG5, GB18030, etc. - like other platforms. 2009-01-18 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> * m4/strftime.m4 (gl_FUNC_STRFTIME): Don't test for mblen and mbrlen. * lib/strftime.c (HAVE_MBLEN, HAVE_MBRLEN): Remove macros.
