Summary: Line wrapping module with support for multibyte, fullwidth,

Description: 

This module intends to be a better Text::Wrap module.
This module is needed to support multibyte character encodings such
as UTF-8, EUC-JP, EUC-KR, GB2312, and Big5.  This module also supports
characters with irregular widths, such as combining characters (which
occupy zero columns on terminal, like diacritical marks in UTF-8) and
fullwidth characters (which occupy two columns on terminal, like most
of east Asian characters).  Also, minimal handling of languages which
doesn't use whitespaces between words (like Chinese and Japanese) is
supported.

Like Text::Wrap, hyphenation and "kinsoku" processing are not supported,
to keep simplicity.

*wrap(firstheader, nextheader, texts)* is the main subroutine of
Text::WrapI18N module to execute the line wrapping.  Input parameters
and output data emulate Text::Wrap.  The texts have to be written in
locale encoding.
