I'm sure it will be very difficult to make txi-ru.tex. Additional
cyrillic fonts should be declared along with the standard fonts. And
the cyrillic TeX solution is in LaTeX level. Active characters are
used to process KOI-8 encoded .tex files. The result is that
txi-ru.tex should redefine the most of the macros in texinfo.tex.
I'm trying to write txi-ko.tex for Korean, but I should redefine the
most of macros in texinfo.tex to do that.
