Only Apple does this to my knowledge. Microsoft does not
use compose characters in their UCS2 on the wire. I'm
voting with MS on this one :-).

But Simo, I disagree about the internal rep. I think it
needs to be utf8 for Samba internal strings. We already
have to deal with mbcs issues - this doesn't make it any
worse.
