-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manuel's todo:
-Test ungetwc.
-Implement %lc (%C) and %ls (%S) handling for printf.
-Implement grouping support and locale-specific radix.
-Deal with mb format string issues in printf, scanf, strftime (at least).
-Implement wide formatted output.
-Reimplement scanf for narrow and wide streams.
-Implement any other missing standard functions from wchar.h.
-Improve customization of the new stdio code.
-Clean up locale code and make it easier to build. (Fix alt_digits!)
-Add collation support (initally for 8-bit locales) and implement strxfrm and strcoll.
-Reimlement strerror and strsignal.
-tzfile?
-era support in strftime/strptime?
-
-Reimplement _dtostr to correct its deficiencies (%A support!) and hopefully reduce its size.

+In the next couple of months, I plan on completing the wide char and locale
+support. Here's my current list of things to implement by early November.
+
+ 1) Little things that need fixing:
+ ----------------------------------
+ a) Use locale decimal point in *printf() and strto*d() -- slightly
+ complicated by the fact that at least one locale uses a wchar
+ radix that does not map to a single byte in UTF-8.
+ b) Use locale digit grouping in *printf().
+ c) Implement %lc (%C) and %ls (%S) handling for printf.
+ d) Deal with mb format string issues in printf, scanf,
+ strftime (at least).
+ e) Implement wcwidth() and wcswidth() -- use Markus Kuhn's versions.
+
+ 2) Implement wide char numeric conversion functions -- wcsto*().
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------
+ These should be relatively minor modifications to the corresponding
+ strto*() functions, unless locale specific alternate digit support
+ is desired.
+
+ 3) Implement wide formatted output -- *wprintf():
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ The stream output variants should be easily created by appropriately
+ modifying the char *printf() functions.
+
+ The string buffer variants may take some time to implement because
+ they need to store wchars in a buffer. It will be necessary to hack
+ the core stdio code slightly to support this.
+
+ 4) Reimplement scanf for narrow and wide streams.
+ -------------------------------------------------
+ The current char version of scanf() needs some cleanup. Also,
+ modifying the char version of scanf() to create the wchar versions
+ will require reworking the implementation of matching char sets
+ (enclosed in []).
+
+ Also, as with *wprintf() above, the string buffer variants of wscanf()
+ may require some additional work to the core stdio code.
+
+ 5) Additional str{f|p}time issues.
+ ----------------------------------
+ Support locale specific alternate digits.
+ Support locale era in year designations.
+
+ 6) Other locale issues (my implementation):
+ -------------------------------------------
+ a) Clean up locale code to make building easier. Fix alt_digits.
+ (Note: This is only _clean_up_ of the current stuff in extra/locale
+ so that it can be cross-compiled, etc. I'm not talking about the
+ complete rewrite that should really be done.)
+ b) Additional clean up of ctype and wctype.
+ c) Implement collation support for char and wchar -- *xfrm() and *coll().
+ d) transliteration of unsupported wchars in 8-bit locales (like glibc).
+
+
+Other stuff:
+
+Reimplement _dtostr to correct its deficiencies (%A support!) and hopefully
+ reduce its size.
Move the target-specific sysconf.c generator to extra (as it needs to be
run on the target) and fix libc/unistd/Makefile.
-Add a usage message to the gcc wrapper.
-
Make errno and endptr handling the default in the strto* functions and
document how to turn those off to save space.
