Um. That sounds like a lot of work... XEmacs handles Unicode and UTF-8
quite well, and has for the last couple of years[1]. It may have
problems that I don't know of if you dig sufficiently far down, and it
may not cooperate flawlessly with all possible major and minor modes,
but it's at least good enough for me to edit XML documents in UTF-8
and to read UTF-8-encoded News postings and mail without problems. The
most difficult bit has been to find a Unicode font that isn't
butt-ugly.
[1] In the 21.4.x series you need to install a lisp module (which the
XEmacs package system will do for you if you ask it; it's
seriously inspired by CPAN) and add three lines to your .emacs. In
21.5.x it should all Just Work.
