[emacs-bidi] Please help with the bidi Emacs

The initial version of Emacs that is supposed to support the
bidirectional editing is available as a branch of the emacs-unicode
version.  As of now, only the redisplay code has been modified to
support bidirectionality, and even that is still rudimentary and
probably doesn't work in many cases.  Someone already told me that it
crashes once the bidirectional display flag is turned on :-(

I wrote the underlying code that is used by the display engine to
produce visual-order glyphs from a logical-order buffer, but I don't
have enough resources to devote to work on this version of Emacs.

I'm asking for volunteers who would be prepared to try this version
and help debugging and fixing it until it is stable enough to be
useful to a fairly wide audience of users.

If people are interested, I will post here the details of accessing
this branch via CVS.

Thanks in advance.
