Michael Kerrisk da8a154e7e btowc.3, wctob.3: Add pointers to better, thread-safe alternative functions 
See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=606899

btowc(3) says:

    This function should never be used.  It does not work for
    encodings which have state, and unnecessarily treats single
    bytes differently from multibyte sequences.  Use the
    function mbtowc() instead.

but mbtowc(3) says:

    The function mbrtowc(3) provides a better interface to the
    same functionality.

Obviously, btowc(3) should not suggest a non-optimal interface; it
should instead suggest mbrtowc.  This is also true for the pair
wctob(3) and wctomb(3).
