Please try talking some sense into upstream... both netsurf, and utf8proc.

This is utterly stupid.   This kind of stunt is directly related to fixing
the same bug again and again in various projects that don't keep uptodate
with the libutf8proc junk.

This is especially annoying in areas such as utf8, which are basic building
blocks that can have a HUGE impact on security.


After a few years, I'm no longer amused by CVEs trickling down the tree
when one library gets broken, and you figure out that there are ten messed
up copies of the same stupid code in our tree...
