Proposed patches

The x11/slim graphical login manager does not support UTF-8 encoded input for
username and password.

For instance, nothing appears when typing accentuated characters on a french
keyboard layout with UTF-8 encoding(set through hal).

Some users may want to use characters outside the ASCII charset for stronger
passwords.

I found patches in an linux Arch User Repository
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/slim-unicode/) that proved to work on port
slim-1.3.6_2.

Here are the patches adapted in the FreeBSD ports patch format.
