In recent glibc(2.2), it converts its encoding according to LC_CTYPE
LC_CTYPE=ko_KR LC_MESSAGES=ja_JP foo
foo: <Japanese text converted into euc-kr>
Although it is not complete(euc-jp != euc-kr) but at least Kana and
some Kanji existing in euc-kr will be shown(maybe glibc does euc-jp ->
UCS4 -> euc-kr conversion).
I don't know internals of citrus code, but can we do this?

ksx1001(ksc5601) is CCS... we may have euc-kr or utf-8 for Korean catalog.
