mined seems to be the way to go.  Unfortunately the compile crashes with 
an "virtual memory exhausted" error when compiling handescr.c.

   From what I can see, gcc gobbles up around 130M of memory, crashes, and 
then the system starts paging things out.  Running it a couple more times, 
(thinking that "Well, everything else should be paged out by now so 
maybe there's some space...") makes no difference.  :-/


   A quick scan of the documentation for sam and wily for "unicode" catches 
a few references to "compose key" and "hex codes", which pretty much 
disqualifies them right there.  (I don't want to insert a single symbol in 
the middle of a page of ASCII, I need something that works with an IME, 
for actually writing text.)

   Bleh.
