I'm still undecided which of ucs2 or ucs4 is better for the linux 
platform. Yes, it seems most of the linux distros are using ucs4 builds 
of python, so ucs4 could make it easier to support python binary modules 
on linux. I'd be interested to know if anyone has had some experience in 
this area?

You can find all of the source code (build scripts, patches and info) here:
