20 Any objection if I add unicode USE flag (and make it default in all
21 profiles) ? We cannot simply convert cjk USE flag to unicode, but in
22 some cases unicode USE flag seems appropriate and we definitely need
23 it. (currently dev-python/wxPython and x11-libs/wxGTK have unicode
24 local USE flag and others use cjk or nls for unicode support)
25
26 If nobody objects (and hopefully many approve ;) ) I'll create it this
27 weekend.
