Re: sisheng input method missing

Below.  I've finally decided to try my hands on Lisp...

Note that I've found a major deficiency of the sisheng character set
(and fonts).  It lacks at least the following (uppercase) characters:

  Ā, Á, Ǎ, À,
  Ē, É, Ě, È,
  Ō, Ó, Ǒ, Ò

Without them it is e.g. not possible to write `Lǐ Ānhuì'.

After some thinking I have decided to not use the latin part of the
chinese-sisheng character set, given that mule-unicode-0100-24ff
character set contains all of the necessary characters.

Please check whether my code is OK -- I've marked two places with XXX.
