[Bug-gcal] gcal and unicode

[Mariusz Adamski]

Hello,

gcal seems to have a problem with unicode. On my locale (pl_PL.utf-8)
gcal produces for example

Grudzień 2010

Niedziela           5 12 19 26   
Poniedziałek       6 13 20 27   
Wtorek              7 14 21 28   
Środa           1  8 15 22 29   
Czwartek         2  9 16 23 30   
Piątek          3 10 17 24 31   
Sobota           4 11 18 25

(I hope you can notice a slight misalignment in the rows where week
day name has a unicode character in it.) Also, with --type=special it
prints

    Grudzień 2010
 Nd Pn WtŚr Cz Pt So
           1  2  3  4
  5  6  7  8  9 10 11

(notice no space between Wt and Śr.)

I've taken the liberty of setting-up a git branch on gitorious with my
take on fixing this [1]. It's really quite trivial; boils down to
replacing sprintf and strlen with unicode equivalents from gnulib. Adds
about 37kB to the binary (stripped) when turned on.

And on a totally unrelated topic to satisfy my curiosity: I noticed
plenty of "#if USE_DE"'s in the sources; is it necessary in the advent
of gettext? Or is it just a leftover baggage from ancient versions?

Looking forward to your opinions. Kind regards
