[M3devel] build problems with libunicode

[Rodney M. Bates]

Hmm, fix it in the m3makefile and just not mess with the do-cm3-*.sh scripts at all.
That shouldn't be too hard.  The m3makfile could emit a loud warning that UniCodec
was not a working version.

Or maybe not build even UniCodec's interface, which would no doubt entail not building
anything in the library at all.  None of it will be of much use without full Unicode
WIDECHAR.
