 Okay, I looked at this.  It will be broken, sort of, until wchar_t
 supporting functions are added.  Then I don't think the change will be
 that big.  Basically, you'll add another variable.  Then break apart -c
 and -m.  One will read a byte, the other a character.

 It was comment structure.  If I had my way, there would be no comments at
 all :)
