ucw's i18n support is limited to parsing the accept-language header
and putting that info into the context (this info is then used to
select language specific templates but can also be used by your own
app). this sholud work best with a (mod_lisp or httpd)+anything
setup. i'm now (slowly) finishing the work required to reliable deal
with non ascii data in requests and response.

other than that ucw's doesn't do anything, i don't think there's
anything else it should do either, but prove me wrong if you wish.

cl-icu was developed a year (or two) ago and was never actually used
for real-world work. it's presence in gentoo portage is a mistake (i
hope).
