The trunk of the CVS repository (which will becomes Emacs-22) already
supports OS X (via Carbon).
If that doesn't help you because you want to use some other API, I recommend
you start from the emacs-unicode-2 branch in the CVS repository (which may
become Emacs-23). That branch changes the internal character set of Emacs
to Unicode, so you won't need to convert chars at all.
But work on Emacs-20 so obviously counter productive to me that I suspect
I just don't understand your motivations enough to give you a good response,
Stefan
