Re: Encode; Should we aggregate all EUCs?

   jki, how fast do you want perl 5.7.3 released?  I know you are dying 
to release ASAP.  But at the same time compiled version of Encode 

By that measure, I'm already multiply dead.

definitely needs some work besides codes.  Here is my suggestion;

* If you want 5.7.3 out in a week or so,  Drop EUC_JP and release the 
rest.  Encode::Tcl may be slow but works (Thanks to Sadahiro)

I can wait more than a week.  But two weeks is about as long as I
would like to wait.  I want 5.7.3 by the end of February at the
latest.

* If you can wait for one extra week I think I can make Encode::EUC and 
other compile-base encodings together with Encode::(JP|ZN|KR) which call 
them.  I think Sadahiro's Encode::Tcl::Escape can be used to implement 
Encode::ISO2022 (Or whatever that is)
