I checked my old archives yesterday and I found that I still have
the very first releases of fribidi where I was the sole contributor.
I personally have no problem releasing these under a putty compatible
licence. It would save Ahmed some work if he didn't have to
reimplement this. I think it would be good to rename the sources
though so that there is no confusion with fribidi.
Do you have anything against it, Behdad?
What it would give you:
* A complete (but probably somewhat buggy) implementation of
the implicit unicode bidi algorithm.
* No support for explicit overrides (but, hey, would use those
in a terminal emulator!)
* Less than optimal speed wise. No sophisticated lookup (neither
two-level nor nine-level. ;-)
