Farahidi - huh ?

[Nadim Shaikli <shaikli at yahoo dot com>]

Abdulaziz, I stumped on 'farahidi' [1] on the adawat project [2] page and
for the life of me I can't remember what the heck that code is (without
looking into the source).  Could you please describe it here so you can
link that description to the project blurb entry.  Do __please__ also
put something meaningful in its CVS "README" and "NEWS" files.  Do also
note a TODO section in case there might be those interested in helping
out.

In passing, all those files had DOS gunk in 'em so I converted all via
'dos2unix'.  Most of the files are also under the evil CP-1256 encoding
while vrb_rule.c is a mystery to me (I have NO idea what encoding its
using) - so I opted not to touch 'em or convert 'em in hope of you taking
care of that so as to get 'em all be under the proper UTF-8.

'iconv -f ... -t utf8 filename' is your friend :-)

BTW: does the name (as odd as it is to my ears :-) mean anything ?
