checking if you want wide-character code... no
configure: WARNING: --enable-widec is deprecated, wide-character/UTF-8 is always enabled

These two do not really match each others…

It looks like a stub to me. I think the developer wants to say with this AC_MSG_WARN that the --enable-widec option is deprecated and this support is enabled automatically.

dnl
dnl deprecate option --enable-widec to turn on use of wide-character support
dnl
AC_DEFUN([EL_DEPRECATE_WIDEC],
[
   AC_MSG_CHECKING(if you want wide-character code)
   AC_ARG_ENABLE(widec,
      [  --enable-widec          deprecated, wide-character/UTF-8 is always enabled],
      [with_widec=$enableval],
      [with_widec=no])
   AC_MSG_RESULT($with_widec)
   AC_MSG_WARN([--enable-widec is deprecated, wide-character/UTF-8 is always enabled])
])

The --enable-widec option is not used in Portfile for building. I wrote a test C program that uses libedit and wide-character/UTF-8 and it worked correctly. It's LGTM.

libedit as of 3.11 decided to force Unicode support by changing the callback signature of the getcfn (el_rfunc_t) callback from a char * to a wchar_t *.
