if you read through LinuxFromScratch, you'll be surprised at the number
of packages that can, with minor modifications, support Unicode, some of
them will only support it as a legacy option, but many will be able to
support it natively if the system locales are set to Unicode. of course,
some packages still require from the ground up rebuild, and still crash
in Unicode systems. but as said, sooner or later, we'll be using fully
unicode systems, and get rid of all this hassle.
