Someone working on the NS port, which is supposed to be a first-class
official port, should DTRT.  The Mac port is neither a patch for nor a
distribution on top of the NS port, but a completely independent port
created with a different policy and design.

I didn't do anything special about unicode-sip for the font backend
drivers on the Mac port.  They are created by porting xftfont.c and
ftfont.c straightforwardly, and perhaps that might give a good result
for this matter.
