Hello

I am thinking of creating various ebuilds for japanese support. 
Should japanese extensions to existing apps be implemented
with use flags or with their own ebuilds? For example should 
I create an emacs-canna ebuild or create optional support 
for canna inside the existing ebuild? New ebuilds seem better
to me, only they would clutter the namespace.

Currently I am planning to create at least
kterm	Multi-lingual terminal emulator for X.
canna	A japanese input system.
emacs-canna Emacs canna interface
xjdic	A japanese english dictionary program
various dictionaries for xjdic

This may take some time however as I have to study and work also...

ps. If anyone wants to help please mail me.
