What's the url of this program?

Why not? :)

Good.

Yes, it does.

BTW, could you have a look at utilities/dbootstrap/langs/japanese.src file?
I'd appreciate if somebody with knowledge of Japanese could put correct words
there.  One note, the 'charset' attribute of <language> element should specify
a character set known to iconv program.  I found that iconv knows EUCJP and
EUC-JP, but does not EUC-JAPAN (which was used in utilities/dbootstrap/po/ja.po).
What's the correct name for this locale?

Thanks,
