it's almost done now. There was some remaining #hell in UML objects; and I
got rid of charconv.[ch] entirely.

(crossing fingers for the linker stage)

one thing: libxml2 forced me to change all instances of

Indeed (fixing while answering your mail). For now, I'll just disable the
XIM case (but I'll leave #hell HAVE_XIM until the Asian guys complain)
