RE: [A12n-Collab] Re:Tech support for Yoruba orthography

I don't know for certain, but I think support for Latin combining marks was
first added in versions of the Uniscribe library that shipped with Office 2003
and Windows XP SP2.

For Latin script the mark and mkmk features weren't available until
Windows XP Service Pack 2.
