Re: Gnus version

[Jambunathan K]

I was feeling so bored that I compiled a list. I deserve a T-shirt if
any of this goes through.

Many of the things that are listed above I see under 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ky%C5%8Diku_kanji

Some of the M-pronunciations are under On. Some are under Kun. The

Algorithm is simple, go through the list below - searching for m - that
is it.

In the list below, I particularly like the following:
