  Log:
  Change this ports a slave ports.
  
  Long long time ago, my friend Mr. yamamoto made an I18N_MB patch.  It
  was used mainly in Japan since it enable fvwm to display Japanese characters
  in the menu, titlebar, and so on.  However, and unfortunately, it was
  not included original fvwm code at that time since less people need it.
  Since then, I maintained the I18N_MB patch to adopt new fvwm releases.
  IIRC, this patch is based on the hack for TWM (see X11R5 contrib), and
  influences to other fvwm-derived window managers to be i18n-ed (e.g.,
  afterstep, windowmaker, etc.)
  
  Soon after the fvwm development team was re-organized as current form, I
  tried pushing I18N_MB patch to be included to original fvwm code.  It was
  great pleasure for me but I have no time to test it; my desktop environment
  is tainted with Windows, and I'm lazy to update my fvwm, that runs on VMware.
  
  Recently, I've heard from kris that this ports is broken on 5-current and
  sparc64 environment.  It seems that it comes from header misuse or something
  like that.  Maybe I can fix it, but I don't do that.  I would be good
  chanse to kill this ports, and use the original fvwm code which is already
  included this patch for a long time.  I believe that fvwm code is still
  well-maintained, it should work as expected; I've heard from many people
  that it works, and I've just confirmed that.  There's no reason to switch it.
  
  Anyway, standalone I18N_MB patch is now dead from FreeBSD ports.  Thanks
  to the original author yamamoto (he's maybe workin' at panasonic.com but
  I don't know how to contact him,) subscribers of fvwm-users-jp mailinglist
  (note: it was concluded already,) people who send me a comment/patch, and
  ports/x11-wm/fvwm2-i18n users.
  
  PS: I intentionally give a little bit funny PKGNAMESUFFIX to this ports,
  to keep this package name unchanged.  It should be changed further releases.
