Aha, so the code in src/common.h is all there is to it!  I tried it
(first installing libunistring-devel) and it does indeed fix most of
the problems!  That was easier than I thought.

And I now understand why it is called "enable-unicode"; these
functions are indeed documented to be Unicode specific.

Right, I still see broken names of days in the --holiday-list output.
But the alignment got better there too, so it was still an
improvement! :-)
