EUC_TWhave logical operations upper,lower and initcap?

For EUC_JP, there is no upper,lower and initcap. I'm not sure about
other languages.

towupper,towlowerfrom wctype, but may be somebody will find decision based on them or other lib?
I'm not sure. What do you think, Peter or other guys who is familiar
with Unicode?
BTW, I don't like your patches. If there's no unicode.h, configure
aborts with:
configure: error: header file <unicode.h> is required for unicode support
which seems not acceptable to me. I suggest you #ifdef out the unicode
upper,lower and initcap support if libunicode and/or unicode.h are not
found in the system.
