How might I add arbitrary accents to characters? I'm not talking about
characters that are available in local encodings of fonts [and I'm using
Uwe's excellent font install tutorial from 20 Oct 1999 to help me work
with phonetic fonts here], but ones like:
- macron (or "overbar", usually denotes a lengthened vowel)
- underdot (denotes stress)
- w-circumflex (Welsh* long 'oo' sound)
These are the sort of things I need to typeset quite often, and probably
no-one else would ever need to, unless they're Unicode types, just to
show they can.

'llabwst', which may be related to 'lobster'.
