>Description:
cjcodecs is a part of python since 2.4. Please see:
http://www.python.org/getit/releases/2.4/highlights/:
"""The CJKCodecs collection of East Asian codecs, maintained by Hye-Shik Chang, was integrated into 2.4."""

or on CJKCodecs offsite:
http://cjkpython.berlios.de/#CJKCodecs:
"""CJKCodecs has been integrated into Python 2.4 and you will have it by default.""

The only consumer of this port is korean/gdick, that is broken and removal requested (see ports/160305)

We have no python < 2.4 in ports, so this port has no use and should be removed with message to users that they should use standard python `codecs` module instead.
