Not trying to beat on a dead horse here, so excuse me if I missed
previous discussions (only now getting back on track with my lists), but
wouldn't a dependency on 5.8.x not be a better goal?  As far as I
understood it Unicode support is just not what it should be in 5.6.x and
given the diverse userbase it would seem more interesting to go that
route.
