Sounds good!  Then Chinese/Japanese/Korean users would
not have much inconvenience if tetex-* packages shipped 
out dvipdfm.

Hmm, I guess we can include dvipdfm in tetex-* packages as 
it is (i.e. without modification for Japanese support).

I believe only that the next dvipdfmx should adopt
the modification, which dvipdfm did, to read a 
"fontmaps" file after the "config" file.
This is essentially important for related font packages.
(Sorry if it already did this).
