where two SBCS code points mapped to a single Unicode point.
Changed so that by default it favours the lower SBCS code point.
On ixion, this highlighted ambiguities in CS_MAC_THAI, CS_MAC_SYMBOL, and
CS_VISCII. Guessed at a preference for the first two and added "sortpriority"
directives. (No idea about VISCII.)

CS_ISO8859_1_X11: where two SBCS positions map to the same Unicode
code point, we now have a `sortpriority' hint which can tell
sbcsgen.pl which one it should preferentially generate when
converting back to SBCS.

does UTF-8 copy and paste (falling back to normal strings if
necessary), it understands X font encodings and translates things
accordingly so that if you have a Unicode font you can ask for
virtually any single-byte encoding and get it (Mac-Roman pterm,
anyone?), and so on. There's work left to be done (wide fonts for
CJK spring to mind), but I reckon this is a pretty good start.
