Yes, I think support for additional languages in etags is always
welcome.  But please also be sure to update the etags.1 man page with
the relevant information, and announce the addition in NEWS.

If the changes are substantial, we will need you to assign the
copyright for these changes to the FSF.  Would you like to start the
legal paperwork rolling now?  If so, I will send you the form to fill.

Thanks.
