Almost all changes are about character and fontset handling;
charset.[ch], coding.[ch], fontset.c are mostly re-written,
character.[ch] and chartab.c are newly created.  So, if your
change depends on macros in old charset.h and coding.h, you
must pay big attention to the change.  Otherwise, I think
you don't have to worry about the unicode merge that much.

I don't mind as far as that change doesn't make future
merging of emacs-unicode-2 into HEAD difficult.
