Cool. Is the idn2_* intentional? I was thinking of providing
compatibility in a way that sources do not need to be changed at all
(i.e., provide an idna.h, and compatibility idna_* functions - which
could also be wrappers). It would be very nice if we could compile
programs that use libidn, using libidn2 without any changes (at least
for the majority of them).

I certainly do. Note that there few failures in the libidn testsuite,
which I have put them in ifdef XXX. These are in tst_idna2.c, and
tst_idna4.c. The tst_idna4.c failure has to do with ascii_to_8z in
libidn2 allowing multiple dots, while the tst_idn2.c failures are
beyond my knowledge.

Note that there few small changes from the version you submitted in
gnutls (one which detects non-ascii chars, and another which allows
XN-- as prefix).

Nikos
