I think it's good, since incompatibility with older wscons.conf is
unavoidable anyway.
So I'd like to modify `font' line format from
# name width height enc file
font latin1 8 16 iso /usr/share/wscons/fonts/iso.816
to
# name width height fstchar enc file
font latin1 8 16 - ISO-8859-1 /usr/share/wscons/fonts/iso.816
After this change, encodings `iso' and `iso7' will be no longer
valid. Is it okay? (Of course, I won't bring it into -current until
I have committed the kernel part of uwscons first.)
