to ${exec_prefix}/lib64 rather than .../lib.  Detect the correct path by
parsing config.log.
Don't use the "soft" magic db

It doesn't help us determine if the file is binary or not, and just

switch to minitest from rspec
initial stab at transliteration
add failing test
malloc/free -> xmalloc/xfree
make sure output buffer is big enough
add another test
use a better transliteration id
some more extensive tests
this is the length in UChars, not bytes
get rid of DECOMPOSITION_SIZE macro

places for things to break. Mixing C/C++ here makes me feel dirty.
brb gonna to take a shower with bleach.
test output buffer resizing
some cleanup
use format specifier
some more cleanup
back out the xmalloc/xfree changes for now
