I have partially ready upper/lower (generic case, not locale
dependent), sametext and some others in early stage like decompose and
compose and also some iterators like next word, next line, next
paragraph.

About codepage to unicode and viceversa I only have a bunch of them,
mostly the 8859-x ones.

The "problem" is that the current code is not ready to be used as it
has not been strongly tested. Also decompose and others are even
not ready to be tested against the oficial test cases, so I do not
know if the implementation is OK.

I'm now trying to reduce the tables size as some are by default too
big, but some optimizations can be implemented like fixed offset
tables for some upper/lower ranges which will improve speed and space
at the same time.
