Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible, since everything changes so
fast. Probably the best thing to do is to sit down, make a list of all the
components of your current set-up, and  then look at each one to see
whether it
is Cyrillic-compatible, and if so, what if any additional steps need to be
taken to enable this compatibility. The following is a selective list of sites
with information on compatibility issues, how to set up a configuration, etc.

[by far the best site I've seen on this]
http://www.siber.com/sib/russify/ms-windows/fonts/   [Russify PC]
http://www.friends-partners.org/partners/rusmac/      [Russify Mac]
http://dove.net.au/~rabogna/russian/russify.htm

I will set about drawing up plans for a WWW VL branch-site on all of this,
though it may take some time for anything to appear online.
