How can I get a compose key for entering international characters?  The faq
tells how to get 8-bit input from an 8-bit keyboard, but that doesn't help
if you don't have an 8-bit keyboard.

I can sort of see how to do it, but I wonder if anyone else has already gone
to the trouble.  I think the answer is to set up a bunch of bindings, so
that, for example, if I use F5 for 'compose,' then F5-a-^ would be bound to
(insert �).
