Need to make DecompositionIterator public and implements the 
CharacterIterator interface.
======================================================================

IBM is willing to donate a "Normalizer" class that implements Unicode normalization as specified by Unicode Tech Report #15.  It provides both composition and decomposition, corresponding to normalization forms C, CC, D, and DC.

Normalization is desirable in the API because it is often useful when building search engines or index databases.  Text is normalized before being added to the database and before a query is performed, allowing different Unicode strings to be considered equivalent if their normalized forms are equal.
