By my poor partial translation of above Web page,

o Under i386 consists of

	wscons = vga + wskbd + wsdisplay + wsemul_vt100 + compat_usl

o Replace some componets:

	vga		=> gvga
	wsdisplay	=> wdpy
	wsemul_vt100	=> wdpyemul_world21

And it supports multiple charcter encoding scheme.

	ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,13,14,15}
	EUC-JP
	EUC-CN
	EUC-KR
	EUC-TW
	ctext(X compound text encoding)
	ISO-2022 (it says generic)
	Japanese Shift JIS
	BIG5
	KOI8-R
	KOI8-U

Modern operating system should support I18N frame work, not single
encoding scheme.  Especially, terminal display and input.

I've read your mail just after sending previous my mail.  I'm sorry
that I can't think of such tool right now.
