KoreanCodecs in the SF Korean Python Codecs (http://sf.net/projects/koco)
a.k.a KoCo is changed from PSF License to LGPL on Barry's request
in early 2002. Because it has many fancy codecs that isn't used in
korean real world, I'd like to make an essence of KoreanCodecs in
PSF License if python needs it. KoCo implementation is the only
widely-used codec set for korean encodings and I can maintain if
it needs.
