portability?
I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Why isn't the concept/mapping that
the registry setting values embody portable to some other configuration
state on other OSes?
Heck, you could even combine the concept with the Plane 14 languages tags to
tell you which codeset mapping to use for a certain run of characters.

In order to save my hands, I am cutting back on my mail. I also write
as succinctly as possible -- please don't be offended. If you send me
mail, you _will_ get a response, but please be patient, especially for
XEmacs-related mail. If you need an immediate response and it is not
apparent in your message, please say so. Thanks for your
understanding.
