Well, currently the docs are in eucJP, right? That's what the user gets
when they do "make install" in doc/ja. There's no framework to let them
pick a different encoding.
Fortunately, putting in that sort of framework becomes trivial with this
scheme, as it's just another <lang> <territory> <encoding> triple.
