This is a difficult problem.  Even m17n-lib itself depends
on that m17n-db is installed with the same --prefix as
m17n-lib.  It seems that there's no smart solution as far as
m17n-db is distributed independently.

So, I've just added a command `m17n-db' in the m17n database
that works as below:

% m17n-db -h
Usage: m17n-db [ OPTIONS ] [ TAG0 [ TAG1 [ TAG2 [ TAG3 ] ] ] ]
Options:
  -h, --help	Print this information.
  -v, --version	Print the version number.
  -l, --locate	Print absolute pathnames of database files.
	TAG0 through TAG3 specifies the tags of the database.
With no options, print the installed directory name.

You can run the command "m17n-db -l input-methodd" to list
up all input method files.

Please try the latest CVS code of the m17n database.
