As the upstream glibc does not use autotools,
I looked through the Makefiles there and they were too complex for me
to convert to the simple version for just building out-of-tree modules.
So the current Makefile is pretty premitive.
But I'll try to investigate it again.

Those modules are not intended to be installed,
instead GCONV_PATH is set to the directory at runtime.

the work was done by myself but it is based on the other existing
modules (iso-2022-jp-3 and iso_6937).
I'd like to assign copyrights to FSF as written in a file header,
as I intend to contribute them to the upstream glibc.

Unfortunately I don't know one,
and that's why those gconv modules are so badly packaged;)
