http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libunistring.git/log/README has it
going back to 2009, with some recent effort.  Bruno has been dabbling in
Unicode for a long time, http://www.haible.de/bruno/packages.html and
wrote the Unicode HOWTO, http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unicode-HOWTO.html

On an Ubuntu system I've access to, package gettext depends on package
libunistring0, so it could be getting some exercise.

Cheers, Ralph.
