Is that enough to correctly set up the user's language environment?

Also, leim-list.el is not just for register-input-method calls; even
if pyim doesn't need anything else (does it?), input methods in
general will, so if we want to install input methods from elpa's, we
need to support that somehow.

But in general (see my first point) I think input methods should be in
core, available in "emacs -Q" etc.
