 I heard back from the author.  He verified that all the previous non-i18n
 patches had been folded in (as I had thought).

 He also let me know this about the i18n patch:
    I don't know of anyone working on updating the i18n patch.  I have
    started working on a shim layer that will let Par compile under either
    C89 without multibyte charset support or under C95 with multibyte
    charset support built on wchar.h and wctype.h, but I have little spare
    time and cannot predict how long that will take.  If anyone were to try
    updating the i18n patch, they'd probably beat me.

 I don't use the `+i18n` variant.  Sounds like grr doesn't either.  Given
 that 1.52_2 has a reported problem against it (this ticket), maybe we
 should just proceed with 1.53.0 without its i18n patch, and then let them
 file a ticket asking to update the i18n patch for 1.53.0 if they use it.
 Comments?
