LogOutputStream

Has anyone given thought to modifying LogOutputStream to support a 
character stream instead of Byte stream?  For i18n purposes, this is a 
must.  For example, the javac tag will not output the correct error message 
for a build if the class contains Unicode characters in Japanese.

--- error message on us environment --- [java] 
...\jsp_servlet\_addevent.java:20: 'class' or 'interface' expected

--- error message on jpn environment --- [java] 
...\jsp_servlet\_addevent.java:20: 'class' ?????? 'interface' ?????????????B

This particular case would also affect the javac compiler helpers, but the 
primary culprit is the use of ByteArrayOutputStream in 
org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.LogOutputStream

Your comments are welcome, TIA.
