Hi,
the best thing you can do is to ask the authors to put the collection
on CTAN.

One of the authors is obviously Dohyun Kim <nomosnomos at gmail.com>.

I don't understand Korean but they obviously discussed it last year:

  http://project.ktug.or.kr/pipermail/dev-kotex/2009-June/000024.html

There might be a problem regarding the kotex-utils.  It would be
easier if the two little C files were written in Perl. 

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
