yes - I did not anticipate bug reports before we'd gotten around to talking
about the configure option - my patch only addressed the problem of constructing
ifdef's for the 40-odd tables.  Individual chunks of code will still have to
be ifdef'd to work with the new symbols...

by default, everything is compiled in as before.  I modified makeuctb to
add symbols which can be overridden via the configure script (when the
configure script overrides, it turns off all charsets except those which
are selected).
