Doug Barton 2fadfa2cfb For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

Mule-UCS is an Emacs Lisp library to define encoding/decoding schemes by
rather simple translation rule.
Emacs prepares encoding/decoding schemes in the following 2 mechanisms.
(A) ... built-in ISO/IEC 2022 encoder/decoder
(B) ... Code Conversion Language(CCL) engine
Although (A) provides powerful encoding/decoding schemes as to
ISO/IEC 2022, we cannot utilize this for any other encoding schemes.
(B) is a simple register machine. However, CCL program is arcane
language because it is mysterious and obscure:-P.
Mule-UCS provides flexible and comprehensible encoding mechanism to Emacs.
Currently, Mule-UCS generates CCL program from the translation rule, but
in the future, Mule-UCS may support another conversion engine on Emacs.
Predefined conversions for Mule-UCS included in this package are:
(1) ... Unicode(UTF-7/8/16) support.
(2) ... Big5 <-> CNS conversion support.
(3) ... JIS X 0213 support.
