Our postings must have crossed :-).

I was not going to put it that strongly, but that is exactly how I feel
about the issue.
I have just tried to change UT_UCSChar to 32-bit, and there will be
some work associated with the transition, as in places our code
uses UT_uint16 in place of UT_UCSChar!. Also, on Windows, we
will need to provide some 32->16 bit translation, but overall these
changes should be straight forward -- I think we should add this on
the list of immediate post 1.0 changes.
