You don't have to call set-keyboard-coding-system nor load
Mule-UCS for CVS emacs.  But, I found a bug.  CVS emacs
doesn't auto-load translation tables for CJK charaters on
decoding an input from XIM by utf-8.

I'll fix it soon, but for the moment, please try to call
this before you start inputting via SCIM

(utf-translate-cjk-load-tables)

I confirmed that it worked with the latest CVS emacs in my
environment.
