+* Lots of headers were cleaned up. Using the tool in the conform/ subdir
we can now check for namespace violations and missing declarations. The
result is that almost all headers are now Unix-compliant (as defined in
the upcoming XPG6). The negative side is that some programs might need
corrections, too, if they depend on the incorrect form of the headers in
previous versions which defined too many symbols and included too many
other headers.

+* regex now handles multibyte character sets correctly.

+ charmaps. Instead of the charset names the path of charmaps can be
+ provided and the conversion happens based on this data.
