Thank you for thinking about it.

And we had discussed it in vim-jp (you know, it is Japanese vim users
and developers community).  The discussion was held in Japanese, but I
reveal its URL for reference.

Probably there are no needs.  In this decade, in Japan, EUC-JP is being
replaced by UTF-8 on lot of UNIX like systems.

We must assume there are still people using gettext without iconv.  It
depends on gettext(libintl) that UTF-8 version ja.po works properly on
EUC-JP systems.  And GNU gettext "de facto standard" uses iconv in
over this ten years.

I speculate there are no or very very very few people using gettext
without iconv.

So, how about add some documentation for EUC-JP users in
src/po/README.txt, instead of including ja.euc-jp.po.  I'll write it.
