I have made some testings with this patch (using ru_RU.KOI8-R and ru_RU.UTF-8 
locales).

Tests were under IceWM in ru_RU.KOI8-R, koi8 version was started from xterm, 
utf-8 version
was started from uxterm.
Another utf-8 version was started in WindowMaker in ru_RU.UTF-8 locale.

Seems, this patch doesn't break any thing (including not so good) with koi8-r 
locale. Only thing
changed is autoguess of font (which i set before by `-- -xrm "Freeciv*.font: 
6x13"` parameter).

With utf-8 locale i got proper strings in every place. It fully fixes the case 
of having
non-ascii chars in leaders and cities names (in koi8 full string in window is 
broken when
there is one non-ascii [and non-koi8] character, and you are not allowed to use 
this chars
in names).
The only thing, is that i can't get translated window titles in client started 
from utf-8 locale
in koi8 localed WM. I just have empty titles (except for main "Freeciv" which 
is untranslated).
(This problem was in both koi-localed IceWM and WindowMaker with utf-8 located 
civclient.
In utf-8 localed WindowMaker i got proper titles)
There was no any other problems found.

I vote for commiting this patch in both branches (ASAP).

Thanks, evyscr.
