This is exactly why it hasn't been updated yet.  Also, the fact that
none of the about 10 people who "let me know" 1.8.10 was out didn't
include any diffs.  I currently don't have access to a FreeBSD machine
with X on it, so no working diffs == no update.  I did have the ability
to test it a month or two ago (shortly after 1.8.10 came out) but didn't
get a chance to look into the NLS issue before I lost my connectivity
and boxes with X.

Disabling NLS support does (or did when I tested it) seem to work, but
that seems like a fairly crappy option when the current ported version
actually builds with NLS support.

I've Cc'd gnome@FreeBSD.org on this to see if anybody shows interest in
looking into the NLS stuff.  If not, and there's enough demand where
users want the upgrade and don't care about the NLS support, I'll commit
it.  I'll give it a week or so.
