I'm afraid you are misunderstanding things.  I am the current 
maintainer of the library, and was reading around to handle your 
problem.  In the meanwhile I was reading other friends comments 
on the list, and I really liked the discussion.  Please don't 
take it offensive, as I know each one of them, so I know that 
they don't mean so.  By the way, about the IBM, I recommend you 
to have a deeper look.  As a minimum, contact Asmum Freytag, the 
one who wrote the code.  Better you send it to 
unicode at unicode.org mailing list.

If you do a job too well, you'll get stuck with it.
