What are the recommended character sets to have in a kernel?  Obviously, 
it will depend on whether you want exotic languages support.  But for 
the Joe Shmoe English only user, what should be turned on?  Pasted below 
are the defaults for my kernel.  UTF8 is not on by default, and it 
sounds like it should be.  Any others I might run into and should turn 
on with future kernel compiles?  Would modules be OK?

Thanks,
Jonathan
