+ support user defined character classes.
+
+ Some platforms have the multibyte functions such as mbsrtowcs but
+ are lacking the multitype type mbstate_t. BeOS (unknown version)
+ and HP/UX 11.23 without _XOPEN_SOURCE=500 are like this.
+
+ We really need mbstate_t type to operate properly. For example, see
+ compute_lcd_of_matches, where two mbstate_t's are active at the same
+ time. So we require both the functions and the mbstate_t type in
+ order to enable multibyte support. */
