OK.  I also like Oliver's logic that we will want to tie-in any future
multibyte support into the same option, so my newest patch changes the
option name to just --enable-multibyte.  If we decide the -zle suffix
is better, it will be easy to add.

I'll leave any possible renaming of the ZLE_UNICODE_SUPPORT define for
later.

Oh, I didn't realize that.  I've restored that logic in this new patch
and enhanced the comment to mention printf.  The code in system.h still
checks for __STDC_ISO_10646__ for this, though I don't know if the
subset actually needs this test or not.

My new patch also removes some debug code that got left in the previous
patch (it echoed a var to /tmp/uni).

Let me know if there are any objections to my checking this in.
