+      <p>At the moment there are a few problems in FreeBSD's support for
+         wide character functions, and as a result the libstdc++ configury
+         decides that wchar_t support should be disabled.  Once the underlying
+         problems are fixed in FreeBSD (soon), the library support will
+         automatically enable itself.
