Uh-huh.  Omega doesn't work out of the box on my Debian system and the
documentation provided is ancient.  The docs for odvips and oxdvi are
just links to the regular TeX versions.  There is no man page for
lambda!  "lambda simple-m17n-lambda-test" produces no errors but a DVI
with no instructions to output the Japanese characters that are
definitely in the TeX source.

I can't recommend that to Gerhard!  I'm not sure _I_ want to deal with
it.

CJK doesn't work out of the box either, but that's a Debian packaging
issue in my case and much easier to fix (install a font).
