Ok. When Tamito has completed his work on the codecs (he is currently
reimplementing them in C), I'll check them in under the new directory.

BTW, how should we ship these codecs ?

I'd propose to provide a distutils setup.py file which wraps up
all codecs under encodings and can be used to create a standard
Python add-on "Python-X.X Encoding Add-on". 

The generated files should then ideally be published right next 
to the Python source/binary links on the python.org web-pages to 
achieve high visibility.
