D2009/d2010 are still windows only.

Do you think there is any general problem in using D2009 strings with
dynamic encoding with Unix ? On the first view I don't see one.

In general I prefer to use each platform using its native encoding.

Some commercial unices are also using utf-16 afaik, since they haven't
switched their TTY to UTF-8 yet. To be investigated.

I lean towards RTLString=utf8string; and RTLString=unicodestring on the
respective platforms, and then express the RTL in RTLString.

No, RTLString=ansistring on Linux and most Unix platforms. Unix is 
encoding agnostic so if you want to use the native string type you must 
simple use old fashioned ansistring.
