As one of the people currently working on wchar support for FreeBSD, I can
safely say that it is not in current.  I do have 'libwcs' available that
includes all functions that I am aware of that start with wcs*().  Also
included are man pages and a testsuite for all but 4 of the functions.

I can send this to you if desired.

This also provides a kick in my pants to finish it up and submit it for
review.
