xeCJK is a LaTeX2e package for typesetting CJK documents in XeTeX like we 
used to with the CJK package. It has been submitted to CTAN earlier but 
retracted by the author because it was not matured enough for general 
public. Now, upon the author's agreement, we submit it again.

package back to CTAN can ensure it can be easily accessed by more people,
