And ranges supported now.  I'm happy to report that the way we apply features
to ranges seem to match Uniscribe.

I tested with Nadyezhda SL One and am seeing something curious: Without
setting any features Uniscribe is not applying kern, mark, mkmk.  That's weird
because I clearly see that it is applying kern to LinLibertine.

As soon as I set any features, calt, clig, and liga are turned off bug ccmp,
locl and rlig stay on.  However, mark and mkmk are turned on now!

Smells phishy.  I'm updating my Win8 machine to try there.
