There has been no 1.7.3, the CVS repository has been relatively quiet
since 1.7.2, and applying patches has sometimes been, well, delayed.
Therefore, I find it quite strange to branch in this moment of quietness
and uncertainty.

Also, it seems that there is no clear plan for the eventual integration
of Unicode and to me, having at least a rough plan would be a
prerequisite to the next stable release.

Thanks,
Ludovic.
