[ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: rxvt-unicode-X-7.7-6, rxvt-unicode-common-7.7-6

[Charles Wilson]

rxvt-unicode is clone of the familiar rxvt terminal emulator, that 
supports partially supports unicode, with a lot of caveats.

So why bother?  See original announcement at 
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2006-05/msg00004.html

Changes since 7.7-5:
===========================================

* Includes updated patch from Thomas Wolff for partial unicode support
   on cygwin.  unicode input is now possible in UTF-8 compliant
   applications, such as mined.
* Better documentation on how to set up your system for UTF-8
   in /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-unicode-X-7.7.README
* Now built with --enable-xim (but don't get your hopes up.  It was
   simply necessary for rxvt-unicode to work properly, even though
   there are (very few? none?) existing XIM servers ported to cygwin.)
* Also built with --enable-iso14755. With this support, in a UTF-8
   rxvt-unicode terminal (e.g. one in which LC_CTYPE was set to a UTF-8
   locale PRIOR to luanch) it is possible to enter multibyte characters
   hexadecimally.  Try: hold down LeftAlt+Shift, and press 2 0 a c. You
   should get the Euro symbol -- assuming your using a font that has the
   Euro glyph.
