I am stuck at a very simple point this UCS/Emacs matter:

AFAICT, my present Emacs setup seems to already have all the necessary

example, at 

http://cvs.xemacs.org/viewcvs.cgi/XEmacs/packages/mule-packages/mule-ucs/

I cannot locate a single downloadable package anywhere that has the name
mule-ucs. I have read through a number of the text files posted in these
directories, but cannot find an explanation that solves my problem.

Apparently Debian users are able to download a single package, but I
don't see anything for the rest of us.
