The Build program does lots of 'tampering'. I had to rewrite many standard
routines and create some new ones to deal with unicode characters because
the standard ones just don't work. And Build still fails to do somethings
correctly (e.g. case insensitive compares) but that's on the TODO list.

I have to think about UTF because it doesn't work unless I do that.
