On Linux, this now works fine for me; make succeeds, one test fails for
me (utf8 r6rs ports).

On Mac 10.5, I get an exception running the test suite, which actually
stops the test suite: bad argument to setlocale. I don't recall which
file that was in. Apologies for the imprecision, that machine is at
work.

Looks good to me. Ideally over time these will migrate to being
implemented in Scheme. For now, please make that static table const, so
it can be shared between processes, and avoid some relocations at link
time.
