Ubuntu package CJK registry changes

Batang can probably be linked to UnBatang, which is the same style - in Ubuntu
it's even in the same package (ttf-unfonts-core) as UnDotum.  I'm not sure if
it's metric compatible though -- and if it is it should probably be a
fontconfig alias rather than a wine-specific one.

However...looking at /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-cjk-aliases.conf  it seems that
these aliases already exist: Gulim and Dotum are aliased to Undotum, and Batang
is aliased to Batang.  Does Wine honor these aliases?


Regardless unless we want to pick a standard set of fonts that Wine will depend
on the distro packager will need to set up a SystemLink in the Wine registry to
handle the case where CJK characters are being called for in a non-CJK font
(like Tahoma) - in this case Windows will silently substitute from a list, and
Wine will do the same but only when told in the registry, and only when in a
CJK locale.  The attached patch does this.

However, the attached patch does not do any of the font linking suggested in
the previous comment.  Is this still necessary if there exist system font
aliases?
