A few questions before. Why do we need to buid depend on gpref while I 
can see you already patched gpref produced files? I also can see you 
silently changed cp932, jisx201, jisx0213 etc encodings. How legimage 
those changes are? I pretty sure that changing unicode yen sign 
representation from 00A5 to 005C is not. Same story about overline 
symbol. Could you carefuly comment all other changes you did, please?

All the beset,
Alexander.
