[Slightly OT] Small GNU Emacs lookalike, UTF-8-able

[Leonardo Boiko]

Hi.  I'm happy with GNU Emacs, it does internationalization affairs just
fine.  However, I want to edit texts in my old laptop, with only 24MiB
of RAM, and Emacs is unusable.  Even being the only application running,
and even with all minor modes disabled, it still swaps like crazy.

Thus I'm looking for a small-footprint Emacs clone.  My requirements are:

- Unicode and UTF-8 support, including CJK and Latin characters.
- As similar to Emacs as possible, with the same main keybindings.
- Either it's possible to run it in a Unicode terminal emulator
  (rxvt-unicode), or it's a X app accepting XIM input methods.
- Doesn't need its own input method system (I can use scim or uim).
- Doesn't need to have fancy programming modes.

I tried vimacs (breaks on utf), jed (couldn't setup utf), mined (too
weird), and e3 (cursor positioning code breaks on wide characters).
Another option would be optimizing Emacs for low memory consumption, if
that's possible. Suggestions?
