But hey, it works very well! :-)

Try again. :-) I fixed it a few days ago. :-)
I made some changes to Make.common, Make.dep.generic etc. in the Chinese
directory to generate all three versions. ;-) First, the .zh.html is
generated, and then a charset conversion program (installed in chinese/bin)
is run and a Perl script generated to fix up all the stuff and generate
.zh-tw.html and .zh-cn.html. A "make install" run would only install the
.zh-tw.html and .zh-cn.html though. I have tried it at home, and those
changes were committed a few days ago. Please let me know if it works or
not.
Also, as you might have noticed, I tweaked template/debian/languages.wml
so it generates links to both GB and Big5 versions for Chinese only.
Again, probably an ugly hack, and not very generic, but I would bet
such a case only happens with Chinese. All other languages seem to have
a unified coding already.
Yes, I know, my current solution might not be the most elegant, but
it works for now. :-) Currently, I have set it up to use Big5 as the
master format (in .wml and the resulting .zh.html), but I am considering
using UTF8 instead 'cause Big5 has a few minor annoyances. :-)
Anthony <-- who started to get an headache sorting out all the Big5/GB
stuff and the variations in Chinese computer terms, etc.
Ah well, that's life. But hey, I guess it does make
it more challenging and more fun. ;-)
