In my mind I've always been using the "CJK-with-.tbl-file approach".  You
have forgotten, however, how hopelessly ignorant I am.  I will do hacks
to make things to work on my specific system, but it would be folly to
include me in "We can then begin ...".  (I learned my lesson with

people like you or Leonid come up with.
