Is it used for any fonts? - can we rename it GB2312-X11 or something
if so?

Not directly used in a 'Encode/Decode' context, as far as I know; to do so
will be setting a precedent, since CNS and other doublebyte charsets often
has such a 'raw' form that's not used in encoded transports.

Gnu libiconv has most of the above mappings other than big5p; I'm willing
to supply their maps if it's ok with the list.
So long as that is LGPL or weaker. Full GPL-only stuff does not go in mainline
perl distribution.

It's LGPL2.
