Re: Regarding my old mmap patch

That all sounds accurate.  IIRC, I did work on refactoring the I/O chain to 
allow for character transcoding independently of the input/output 
source.  But I found the transcoding logic was pretty tightly meshed with 
the I/O (especially pretty print on output).  Today, I would vote to simply 
layer Tidy over iconv, which is widely available (I know, many suggested 
this at the time).

Back to the topic at hand, do you agree that we should strive to 
encapsulate platform dependencies?
