Here again, I entreat to add Tamito's C version as standard Japanese
codec. It's fast, is proven quite stable and correct. 

If people need to customize mapping table(this may happen in some cases,
but not common task. I believe almost 100% of Japanese programmers never
had wrote such a special mapping table), and if they think Tamito's
codec is too difficult to customize(while I don't think so), and only if
they are satisfied with performance of codec written in Python, they
will download and install the Python version of codec.
