@@ -2,3 +2,10 @@ This is an autotool- and libtoolized port of the NetBSD Editline
library (libedit). This Berkeley-style licensed command line editor
library provides generic line editing, history, and tokenization
functions, similar to those found in GNU Readline.
+
+The slackbuild has a build time variable called LIBEDIT_WIDEC, which if set to
+`yes', turns on the wide character support of the built libedit library.
+Although the support is there, initial testing shows that it acts weird, and
+displays Unicode byte sequences instead of the real typed-in characters. You
+can experiment with it, but don't count on it until it is cleared up.
+The default build option was and is disabled widechar support.
