mc vs mrxvt, UTF8

Hello there,


I'm a long-time mc user, mostly running in mrxvt, which means without
UTF-8 support. Yeah, call me a caveman.

I'm trying to get mc with UTF-8 support to run in mrxvt, which has no
support for it. Of course I know I can switch to another terminal.. but
none bring what mrxvt does and the UTF-8 branch of mrxvt is not usable,
thus asking here if that sounds possible or not.

Any tips here? The only thing I get if I run mc with LANG/LC_ALL set to
en_US.UTF-8 from a mrxvt instance is a broken layout (frames) and UTF-8
chars not shown correctly. Tried with slang or ncurses for screen
support, no change.

$ mc --version
