Why can't you continue to use the MULE code and just change the
character sets to reflect certain aspects of Unicode?  One such aspect
is Latin "unification", for example.  (The Unicode people get very
annoyed if you talk about "unification", "source separation rule" etc.
in the context of non-Han scripts...)

In a second step, support for normalization, combining characters
etc. would have to be added, but this could be based on the reliable
foundation of the old MULE code.
