Hi,
latest ncurses patch level now includes a form_driver_w routine for
inputting wide chars (this has not been working on Mac OS X). Together
with this patch for ncursesw-ruby [0] and this for sup [1] (by Paweł
Wilk) the new form_driver_w routine is used and wide char (utf-8, etc)
should work on Mac OS X platforms as well, the sup patch is fairly
extensive and it would be great if someone has the chance to test it (it
should work seamlessly between versions of ncurses with or without
form_driver_w).

Cheers, Gaute
