This patch adds a few functions related to string ports: * libguile/strports.c: store string ports in locale encoding (scm_strport_to_locale_u8vector, scm_call_with_output_locale_u8vector) (scm_open_input_locale_u8vector, scm_get_output_locale_u8vector): new functions I think it would be nicer if these used bytevectors instead of u8vectors and were locale-independent (which would match the `string->utf8' & co. API). Also I would make `scm_strport_to_locale_u8vector ()' private. And finally, it'd be even better if it were documented in the manual. :-) Actually I'm not convinced that `call-with-output-locale-*' and `open-input-locale-*' are useful, precisely because we can use a string port to get a string and then `string->utf8' to get at the string bits. What do you think? Thanks, Ludo'.
