Dear Kohda-san!
Good to hear from you. How was the summer in Japan? If it was as hot as
the July in Europe it must have been very bad, together with the
humitity!
Some comment to xetex:

Next version will include it. I think about making a intermediate
release of texlive packages with 2006~svnYYMMDD so that we can get
xetex. We will see.

Yes, it helps a lot.
One point I found in your package: You don't create a link
xelatex -> xetex
in /usr/bin. Has to be done by hand.

Yes, it is, see discussion on the texlive mailing list.

Hard, very hard ATM. Changing the language.dat, hmm.

Well, you should conflict with texlive-lang-hungarian and
texlive-lang-other, otherwise it breaks.

Thanks, after some changes to the font names I was able to compile
several of the docs on my texlive system.
Great work!!
