[tex-live] [tl2007] languages

Hello,
I've been tasked to add support (hyphenation patterns for pdfTeX) for
some additional languages to our TL2007 installation:
   Cestina
   Estonian
   Magyar
   Latvian
   Lithuanian
   Polski
   Slovenian
   Slovaque
   Bulgarian
   Romanian
   Russian
Some of these are trivial (e.g. polski), since they are already
supported in TL2007; others (e.g. Lithuanian) are not included in
TL2007 but doable, and two are difficult: Latvian & Slovaque.
- Latvian is only supported recently with hyph-utf8 ?
- for Slovaque there is csplain/base/skhyphen.tex, but loading this
  in language.dat leads to errors. Is there some additional magic
  needed or is it just broken?

Is there an easy chance to get these working with pdftex and TL2007? I
don't want to switch to hyph-utf8 unless necessary.

Another question: Is there a list of fontencodings to use with these
languages somewhere?

Thanks in advance
   Martin
