After looking at the directory structure of my Android device under
the stock Samsung ROM (both 2.2.2 Froyo and 2.3.3 and 2.3.4
Gingerbread), as well as CyanogenMod 7.1, (which is very stock AOSP),
and the files in there, (but not the soruce code or compilation
process, I fell that this is more a case of not enabling compile time
switches to support Indic modules.
This is of course, subject to the caveat - I do not understand much of
coding.

Really?? Any pointers? I can't find any.
