I see Marco had just posted more complete patch with dummy functions
to ucw_dev.  The complete solution (implementing a function for other
Lisps) would require writing portable Unicode library, which is not
trivial.  With conditional reading one can provide alternatives for
other Unicode Lisps -- this should be fairly easy, just grep the
sources for sb-unicode (outside shared.lisp there are only some minor
changes for application's default charset) -- but atually working
dummy functions for non-Unicode Lisps are non-trivial.
