Made a change to call.c

http://hamradio.junglevision.com/callintl.patch

This patch needs to sit another week before it's done, though it's basically working now. This updates the 'call' program in ax25-apps to work with either IBM850 encoding, or UTF-8 encoding. This is versus ax25-apps-0.0.8-rc2

Posting a link now just in case anyone has any philosophical issues with this.

Call seems to support only a limited version of IBM850 that just included borders and German. Output now is done with UTF8 mode, and I translate characters using the iconv function from IBM850 to UTF8. More of the IBM850 charset should be visible.

I tested the 850 character set with some of the schematic BBS messages that are sent regularly to packet. I'm not sure if German input ever worked from call, but it should work now. (Though this is not tested.)

The program ｓ田ｒｔｓ by default in IBM850 mode, but can be changed to UTF8 by using ~8 command in the program or by using -8 from the command line.

I've tested to ensure that wide characters work correctly in UTF8, and I've checked Japanese myself for both input and output by entering Japanese characters into my BBS, and then reading back the messages.

I did a few other small tweaks, like fixing the ~command help to not glitch the screen so badly. I haven't looked at the irritating bug that causes the program to crash out when the window is resized.
