Why do you need Unicode support in the kernel?  The tables are a  
lot of crap to stow in the kernel.

  The Mac OS X filesystem API's are all still char*.  What we do is  
we treat char* strings as UTF8.  Read Unicode from disk as UTF8 and  
present that to userland.  Higher-level toolbox calls deal with the  
translation buisiness in user space.
