My first question is: is ustr widely enough available ? Including
platforms like OS/X and FreeBSD ? If not, is it possible to pull ustr
into the source tree on those platforms, similar to how gnulib is being
pulled in ?

Also, there probably needs to be some change in autoconf that checks for
ustr and/or a flag to pull in ustr on platforms where it's not readily
available.
