Su Yong and Zan Jian wrote a package named `mule-gbk' which implement
the GBK coding system, for more infomation:
http://mule-gbk.sourceforge.net/
because there's no room for GBK charsets (3 Leading Bytes at least),
mule-gbk occupied the leading bytes of Chinese-CNS-5, Chinese-CNS-6
and Chinese-CNS-7 charsets, these charsets are rarely used.
