probably, but i have very little time,
and it's not that important to me right now.

there was already unicode support, i thought.
it certainly seemed that way.

i think i was good about keeping all the
relevant new files in the Plan9/ directory,
so you should be able to start with a fresh
tree, drop in the Plan9 directory, cd into
it, run mk, and see what happens.

i'll happily give you the scripts that
generate the cd image too.
