3            Make locales like ru_RU.UTF-8 that need the ascii8 device but UTF-8
4            output work. This involves a good deal of restructuring.
5    
6            * src/encodings.c (directory_table): Remove a completed TODO
7              comment.
8              (directory_table, charset_table, device_table): Name array element
9              struct types in order to abbreviate code later.
10              (device_table): Split less_charset members out into a new table,
11              less_charset_table. They really depend on the locale charset, but
12              aren't quite appropriate for charset_table. Use "iso8859" rather
13              than "latin1", and add KOI8-R.
14              (device_table): Add output_encoding member, which is almost the
15              inverse of charset_table but slightly different for ascii8.
16              (compatible_encodings): New function to figure out if a source
17              encoding and a roff encoding are compatible.
18              (get_default_device): Take new source_encoding argument so that we
19              can make ru_RU.UTF-8 use the ascii8 device and an iconv pipe
20              rather than utf8 directly. Drop through to the fallback default
21              device if none of the predefined entries in charset_table are
22              compatible when considering the source encoding.
23              (get_roff_encoding): Split LESSCHARSET handling out into a new
24              function ...
25              (get_less_charset): ... here. The caller is expected to set
26              environment variables rather than having it done by the library.
27              (get_output_encoding): New function, returning the output encoding
28              produced by a device.
29            * src/encodings.h (get_default_device): Update prototype.
30              (get_output_encoding, get_less_charset): Add prototypes.
31            * src/man.c (make_roff_command): Update calls to encoding library
32              for these changes.
