Autrijus.
My apology for incorrect verb. Autrijus. Isn't that rare for a
Taiwanese to have a name with 3 syllables?
* rename gb2312 to gb2312-raw, ksc5601 to ksc5601-raw
* and alias gb2312 and ksc5601 to euc-(cn|kr)
I agree. :)
Okay, the verdict reached. jhi may find it funny but it's totally
natural in BSD sense to call it raw. C'mon, I won't call the EUC
version cooked :)
Well, at least almost every other program (hc, iconv, mozilla...) does
that anyway.
I wonder how this charset misteken as encode has started. Well, in
majority of encodings, charsets are applied uncooked so that may be the
reason.
Also, please don't forget to apply the following patch to HZ.pm, which
does s/gb2312/gb2312-raw/, as well as cleaned up the code a little.

Xiexie. Applied.
