  I got it, but currently this package SELECTS euc-jp IMPLICITLY.
  So I believe that providing the options to select charset is at least
  better than now.

  This problem would come from MeCab itself rather than the pkgsrc, so 
  pkgsrc cannot and should not care this issue and MeCab should take
  care of it.  Providing a new feature such as API to change
  dictionaries would be beyond the pkgsrc.
