Ah, you read my mind. The nice thing is that you can rip the code to avoid
external dependencies. But anyway, the guys from unicode should have already
cared for that, yes, you can do a search for "unicode lib" at freshmeat and
pick one of the available libs.... wow, so there's a svgalib browser :-)

Or my configuration, you know, I love playing with fire.

Ah, but the problem is I might have to, and doing so I wouldn't like to
break the work of others.

Its whatever you prefer. The \unumbercode is used internally by python. Well,
in fact, they don't put the 'u', so the string "éás" is converted (or
represented internally) like "\351\341s". I think that putting \unumber or
\unicode_number is better for the human going to edit the text afterwards.
Yes, you could just add an option field in the configuration to set this
"magic" string and everybody would be happy.
