it seems that lekho (a Bengali Unicode Editor) has reached version 1.0
the url is http://lekho.sourceforge.net

according to the site 
    ""Lekho" is a "plain text" editor designed to take in phonetic input
    from a standard US keyboard and convert (transliterate) it online
    into bangla text. The text is stored as unicode ( UTF-8 ) and can be
    read by any unicode aware  application. Lekho is NOT designed to be
    a WYSIWYG word processor (like MS Word)
    
    For browsers/systems that are not unciode aware, the text can be
    exported as a webpage composed using the Adarshalipi font. Provided
    this font is installed on the system, the page will render
    correctly.
    
    Lekho allows the export of the bangla text in bangtex format. If you
    have LaTeX and bangtex installed on your system, you may use this
    editor to compose bangla documents to be compiled in LaTeX using the
    bangtex package.
    
    Lekho is coded to run on both Linux and Windows. "
    
i am have dowloaded the source, but there's no ./configure script or
anything, and so, i'm hacking the Makefile now
let's see how this performs
