(Though, I'm not representing Japanese users)

At least, it seems that kcc was used until 2009 or so to handle
encoding issues for webwml.
(OT: you can dig that issue in webwml repository)
Now already migrated content itself to UTF-8, no need to install kcc
for webwml, IMHO.
(are there other use-case?)
