Both JapaneseCodecs and CJKCodecs include 'euc-jp' and 'iso-2022-jp'
which are required in internal conversion of messages in Mailman.
While CJKCodecs include jis-x0213 ('iso-2022-jp-[23]'), JapaneseCodecs
can handle half-width-kana by 'iso-2022-jp-ext'.

I think we can handle well behaved japanese messages by CJKCodecs
and users can add JapaneseCodecs if they want to do with
extended charsets.

+1 for CJKCodecs
