Thanks for working on bf-utf.

What do you mean with "backward compatible" ?  I think the back-porting
of the patch (created with slang 1.4.0) for older 1.3 series is really
hard because of many difference between 1.3 and 1.4, but you can try it
anyway.  If you get success, then we can use it happily.

Do you think that `minislang' is usable for us in bf-utf for potato ?

I will checkout that gnewt modules from cvs.debian.org.
