Does it work? The attached patch works fine. I was trying tamil-itrans for the first time and I find quail-help to be a bit overwhelming. There are lots of characters that is displayed and it is difficult to find the one that I am interested in inputting. In some sense it is very confusing for first time user. I believe it would be lot more helpful if the input table for vowels and consonants be displayed upfront. I am attaching a table that I created for myself during the process. You will find that the characters are displayed in their natural order.
