I could do that, but I haven't actually modified the drawing code
substantially yet, except to include the combining characters themselves
in the buf
I've got the logic fully implemented (both for maintaining multiple
characters in a single cell and for copying the selection) but I can't
figure out how to make them draw correctly. I don't understand what the
xdraws and drawregion function is doing.
Current behavior is it draws the combining

Those systems aren't using wchar_t *or* wint_t for unicode, though.

If we were using POSIX 2008 or XSI extensions, I could use the at()
