(finally :)

CJKCodecs includes support for many East Asian legacy
encodings:

* Chinese (PRC): gb2312 gbk gb18030 hz
* Chinese (ROC): big5 cp950
* Japanese: cp932 shift-jis shift-jisx0213 euc-jp
euc-jisx0213 iso-2022-jp iso-2022-jp-1 iso-2022-jp-2
iso-2022-jp-3 iso-2022-jp-ext
* Korean: cp949 euc-kr johab iso-2022-kr

CJKCodecs integration to main python will make CJK
users more comfortable with the default installation
package.

And it's not as big as you might guess. :)

It bloats only 2% by source size:

% du -d0 -k python
37714   python
% du -d0 -k python+cjkcodecs
38504   python+cjkcodecs

And it bloats only 4% by source lines:

% echo `find python.cjkcodecs -type f -exec cat {}
\;|wc -l` "*100/" `find python -type f -exec cat {}
\;|wc -l` "-100" | bc
