Dear Hironobu,
yes, duplicates are awful and should be avoided.

But there is one thing we have to consider:  There is a DVI viewer for
Windows called "dviout" which probably has hardcoded paths to tlgs
directories, in particular to lib/.  I once made a little change and
someone told me that I broke dviout.  We have to be careful. 

I don't have Windows, hence I can't test dviout myself.  But I can
test everything else here if I install Ghostscript on Linux exactly
the same way as in TeX Live for Windows.

Akira, can send me the output of ./configure e.g., what it prints to
screen?  

I'd like to build a test bench for Ghostscript.  Any files which help
me to test CJK support are welcome.

Not necessary.  The directory Resource/Font is copied from the
ghostscript sources, hence it will always exist.  It's my script which
removes all files therein in order to avoid clashes with the fonts we
provide.  And even if Ghostscript devopers decide to drop the
directory, my script will issue an error message.  Don't worry.

Regards,
  Reinhard
