first attempt at japanese text with Lout

[David Kuehling]

Hi,

I just managed to get japanese text working with Lout.  Although this is
just a badly hacked proof of concept, I thought I post it here.
Japanese line breaking rules aren't properly implemented yet.  It uses a
filter script written in Tcl (8.3 or newer) for converting japanese
characters into Lout commands.  Yes, that's terribly slow.

The font is currently hardcoded to be Ryumin-Light, which is included in
japanese postscript printers.  On Debian, gsfonts-wadalab-config can be
called to register a replacement font with ghostscript.

I will soon try to turn this into a fully functional solution.  If you
have any ideas/comments/feature requests, please share them.

regards,

David
