Not necessarily.  I think many OS developers like to claim this,
but it's not true.  I've got great Japanese tools running under
generic X windows, no hacking the underlying code.  There is
excellent Windows Japanese packages that emulate the Japanese
Windows product under normal Windows.  Supporting multi-byte
languages is just a matter of being able to displaying and
inputting the text.  Supporting this everywhere, such as in the
menus and all the system text, is another matter.  But for reading
and writing it's doable.  (of course, it's great if the OS provides
support for it and doesn't weasel out)
