The incoming explanations of the internals of recode should
help people who want to dive into recode sources for adding new
charsets. Adding new charsets does not require much knowledge about
the overall organisation of recode. You can rather concentrate
of your new charset, letting the remainder of the recode
mechanics take care of interconnecting it with all others charsets.
If you intend to play seriously at modifying recode, beware that
you may need some other GNU tools which were not required when you first
installing recode. If you modify or create any `.l' file,
then you need Flex, and some better awk like mawk,
GNU awk, or nawk. If you modify the documentation (and
you should!), you need makeinfo. If you are really audacious,
you may also want Perl for modifying tabular processing, then m4,
Autoconf, Automake and libtool for adjusting configuration matters.
