[fpc-devel] utf-8 package in Free Pascal

[Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho]

Hello,

I would like to add a new package to Free Pascal into the directory
packages/fputf8 which will provide classes and routines for UTF-8
applications. It might grow to include things like:

* full unicode tables and conversion routines
* Equivalents of RTL classes which are not adequate for UTF-8
applications and/or will still not be in the wide RTL like TFileStream
and TStringList
* Equivalents of RTL routines with UTF-8 parameters

Just announcing to check if there is opposition to Free Pascal
distributing such a package.

thanks,
