Well, after looking at /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc, there does not seem to 
be a use variable that has anything to do with unicode.  Should I make a new 
one?  I am trying to figure out the best way to go about this.  This is 
mostly a learning experience, and if it ends up benefitting some, then such a 
deal :).  I am thinking 'icu' would seem in the style of the other use 
variables.
