That would be 'serious development that requires unicode' I guess. I
use it for non-unicode serious development without difficulty.

I don't think they include the .h -> .dylan c-ffi generator. You could
perhaps look at pidgin from Gwydion Dylan which was written to perform
this purpose. Don't know what stage it is at though.

What particular libraries were you looking for the source for? There's
quite a bit in there but not everything as you note.

Chris.
