State-Changed-When: Fri Jan 25 20:41:15 PST 2002 
State-Changed-Why:  
It's easy to merge process itself, but it also requires that maintaining 
processes.  The jam less (less extensions to ISO-2022-JP or other charset) 
said in his webpage <URL:http://www.io.com/~kazushi/less/> that: 

Copyright and future of this patch 

I, sometimes, submitted my patches and asked Mark to merge mine to 
the original tree. However, these are not merged. He said he may 
merge in future. I also think this code is too compilcated to 
understand without ISO 2022 knowledge, so I think this will not be 
merged.  

On the other hand, there is a copyright issue. The copyright of an 
original less was BSD-style licnese. Then, it is changed to GPL 
once. Currently, it is using both, GPL and less license. I 
personally don't want to publish my libraries under the GPL. So, 
my patch is under only BSD-style less license.  

It seems that it's hard to intergrate both into the single one, but I 
*hope* that will happen in the future.  So keep this PR un-closed state.
