Hello,
I wanted to patch lxdialog with the upstream code so that it supports UTF-8 i/o
and utf-8-consoles, but I would need to know from which 'dialog' it forked in
the past.
Help appreciated,
Jan Engelhardt

The only indication I could find was this note in scripts/README.Menuconfig:
---------------
The windowing support utility (lxdialog) is a VERY modified version of
the dialog utility by Savio Lam <lam836@cs.cuhk.hk>. Although lxdialog
is significantly different from dialog, I have left Savio's copyrights
intact. Please DO NOT contact Savio with questions about lxdialog.
He will not be able to assist.

lxdialog already seems to support UTF-8 (read: ncurses supports it), since it
actually works when TERM=xterm or =screen. However, not so with =linux or
=screen.linux.
