If we are going to tread that path, it would be better to rip core support
for encodings other than the core Unicode standards
(UTF8/UTF16/UTF32/UCS-4/UCS-2) completely out and ship Unicode::Map,
Unicode::Map8, Jcode and Unicode::MapUTF8 in the base distribution
(possibly after XSing them for performance) than that. Better no direct
support for national encodings than automatically and *system dependantly*
broken support.
Ask a silly question - what do Unicode::MapUTF8 & co use as their basis?
If we "trust" those I may as well try and "compile" from same sources.
