The attached patch works fine.
I was trying tamil-itrans for the first time and I find quail-help to be
a bit overwhelming. There are lots of characters that is displayed and
it is difficult to find the one that I am interested in inputting. In
some sense it is very confusing for first time user.
I believe it would be lot more helpful if the input table for vowels and
consonants be displayed upfront. I am attaching a table that I created
for myself during the process. You will find that the characters are
displayed in their natural order.
Independent Vowels
