I would rather make it as generic as possible and include it - lunar is not a 
large group enough to sustain all sorts of offspring, and frankly it would be 
rather easy to add the charmap option to the ISO, except that the available 
charmaps are of different formats and I need to find a solution to enumerate 
them properly.

Other than that I think it's a good addition and the ISO already has some 
foreign kbd/lang/font support anyway.
