A pretest is just like a release, which means all the *.el files are
already compiled there into *.elc files.

Unicode, not UTF-8. UTF-8 is just one encoding of Unicode text; Emac=
s
supports much more than just UTF-8. But the internal representation
of characters is based on Unicode in Emacs 23.

You can do this yourself, write to emacs-devel AT gnu DOT org. But you
should know that Richard is no longer the head maintainer of Emacs,
there are two guys (Stefan Monnier and Chong Yidong) who took over
Emacs maintenance about a year ago.
