We are good friends.

well, zhspacing is free software. so I am free to make any changes I
want and redistribute that as long as I leave the original license
information, not to say we (yindian and me) are good friends. (In
fact, some parts of zhspacing's initial idea was suggested by me.
since yindian is good at tex macro programming, so he developed the
whole package base on the idea all by himself)

yindian submitted the package to CTAN. but later some minor bugs were
found but he was quite busy and did not have time to maintain the
package. So  he asked the CTAN maintainer to remove that package. But
it is a useful package, so when the Chinese TeX Society plan to
translate lshort into Chinese, the document translator planned to use
that macro package, and that file is included in lshort-chinese
package.

Now Chinese TeX Society take over the development of zhspacing, xeCJK,
CJKpunct and ctex package. They are hosted on
code.google.com/p/ctex-kit. After a major release, we will submit all
the packages to CTAN. So in TeXLive 2009 you can find these packages
in texmf-dist.
