Well, ive decided to hackify regcharclass.h now that i have a good
idea of how it will be used. Hopefully this will make it easier to
"fix" for EBCDIC.

I wonder tho, has anybody asked IBM for access to an EBCDIC machine or
is that not the problem? (Er, maybe I shouldnt bring it up since im
unlikely to spend much time on such a machine.)
