Well, you can always use "ja_JP.SJIS". As for the default charset, now
that we get extended NLS support, there are packages out there which
have messages files for ja_JP encoded in eucJP. These are not shown
correctly if SJIS is the default. And eventually you should use
"ja_JP.UTF-8" anyway.

I don't understand this one. The difference is the character encoding
which is compatible with other POSIX systems in the "ja_JP" locale
when eucJP is the default.
