There is a bizarre project called kernelex that patches Windows 98 to
allow many apps to run on Windows 98 with unicode support.  I have tried
it and it does work (openoffice 3.2 and firefox 3.6.10 ran fine), but it
is pretty much magic and who knows how stable it is.  I have a hunch
that the latest version of GTK would work on it.  Google can reveal more
information about this if you feel like dabbling in the black arts.
