I have been fiddling with the bold math fonts cmmib, and I'm having
trouble with the \skewchar -- hence this posting.

In particular, I need two \hat's above a bold theta. My \hhat macro
works fine for a normal theta (with \skewchar='177), but for the bold
theta the lower hat is a little too far to the right.

It is not obvious to me how to choose a skewchar that does better --
if I choose '060 (the other value used in the TeXbook), or '022 (theta)
the lower hat is too far to the left. 

Ideas? Explanations?
