I don't disagree, but the number of "break" and "continue" statements
before cskipped++ makes me nervous.  This said, I am going to  add
test cases from the first post to test_unicodedata (I think it is a
better place than test_normalise because the latter is skipped by
default) and commit.

Improving the algorithm is a separate issue.
