Actually, the first part of the problem - that must be dealt
with ASAP - is the Catalog.

Currently you may write your content in whatever language you
wish. But not if you use the Catalog; it cannot search text in
languages that use single-byte, >127 characters, or multi-byte.
The ``voodoo kludge'' splitter seems to somehow fix multi-byte
but not single-byte, so you Germans and we Brazilians are still
lost.
