[erlang-bugs] R16A: Small inconvenience with Unicode strings in the shell

[Anthony Ramine]

Hi,

I've got a fix:

	git fetch https://github.com/nox/otp.git wide-chars

	https://github.com/nox/otp/compare/erlang:master...wide-chars
	https://github.com/nox/otp/compare/erlang:master...wide-chars.patch

I can't test the win32 part though.

Björn, should I add some autoconf machinery to know whether wcwidth() is
available?

Regards,
