just for now, as i dont want the source file to get big, and havent
made my mind on how to load character types, i guess there are
2 ways...
1- Fribidi's way, which i think is parse the unicodedata.txt file on
  initialization.
2- a static array holding everything from 0x0 to 0xFFFF, which is
  a total of 10000 values, each is a 2 byte value. and that comes
  to 65536*2 = 131072 bytes...

any other suggestions..? im leaning towards the second method,
as the reason to implement this anyway is so it can easily be
plugged into PuTTY, without any external files needed....

the minor details, i should hopefully get to those soon...
if you noticed any, please point me to them..
hard parts like what..?
well, i'll plug that character set it and try to write some test program.

ak.
