Status of Unicode integration/support

[Tom Emerson]

Can someone summarize the status of the Unicode implementation in the
current CVS Emacs, especially as it relates to CJK and Arabic? What,
if anything, needs to be done to build a version with this support? Is
this documented somewhere? Is it on the mainline or on a branch? If on
a branch, how often is it synchronized with the work done on the
mainline?

Currently I'm using Otfried Cheong's extensions to Mule-UCS under
20.7.2, which works well, but if there is "official" support now I'd
rather use that (I believe his code doesn't work under 21.x, for
example).

Thanks, and apologies if this should have been posted somewhere else.
