[Cuis] About adding a Unicode handling porting layer

[Germán Arduino]

Nice if you will develop the needed code!

The first need I have is on the methods of Swazoo that I commented in
other mail, but I think that is more simple, only that I don't was
aware of the already inplace support in Cuis itself.

Germàn.
