Sounds great.


proposed addition to baselayout:

if [ `use unicode` ] ;
then
cat >> ${D}/etc/rc.conf << EOF
# This setting enables a default UTF-8 locale for your system. 
# please look inside /usr/share/locale for more examples
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

EOF
fi

This is rough, but something like it perhaps?
