UTF8 delete behaviour should be pretty trivial to add. It's liketly to be more involved than simply adding a
/* multi-char UTF8 thing? Continue until we hit the first one */ if (tty->utf8 && (c & 0x80) && !(c & 0x40)) continue;
to the loop in n_tty.c: eraser(), but it might not be _much_ more than that.
