If hyphenation is allowed between any two letters, the patterns are
trivial (see hyph-mul-ethi.tex), but you can also automatically insert
"zero width breakable space" between all pairs of letters if you are
working with XeTeX. A third solution in XeTeX would be to use the
right locale which would break automatically (like in Thai).
No, this last option won't help. Phil is not looking for normal
(inter-word) line breaking behavior, but for hyphenation (intra-word
breaks). \XeTeXlinebreaklocale won't do that. (Nor would it insert
hyphens, anyway.)
But as I noted a few days ago in the TL thread ("Install TeX Live
20130914 failed"), the patterns required to provide this kind of
hyphenation would be pretty trivial to write.
