I have checked whether it might already work with updmap.  Adding 

Map cid-unttf-dhucs.map

to updmap.cfg leads to inclusion of this map file into all generated map
files, and dvips and pdftex continue to work with ordinary files, so
there's no syntax problem.  I guess they won't be able to use the fonts,
but that doesn't make things worse.

Next, I tried to check whether I can process the example file
dhucsdoc.tex with latex and dvipdfmx - this gives font errors.  However,
with the old setup - adding an entry to dvipdfmx.cfg - it does not find
the fonts:

$ dvipdfmx dhucsdoc.dvi 
dhucsdoc.dvi -> dhucsdoc.pdf
[1kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / --bdpi 600 --mag 1+437/600 --dpi 1037 
ounbtmd6
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ounbtmd6.
kpathsea: Appending font creation commands to missfont.log.

** WARNING ** Could not locate a virtual/physical font for TFM "ounbtmd6".
** WARNING ** >> There are no valid font mapping entry for this font.
** WARNING ** >> Font file name "ounbtmd6" was assumed but failed to locate 
that font.
** ERROR ** Cannot proceed without .vf or "physical" font for PDF output...

Output file removed.

The reason seems to be that, although latex-hangul-ucs installs
ounbtmd6.tfm, there's no entry for ounbtmd in cid-unttf-dhucs.map.

In other words:  It seems as if there is a simple solution to the RC bug
I reported, just use the existing updmap mechanisms.  However, there is
a different bug, which makes the example file unusable (and maybe
others...). 

One more point:  It's possible to compile the example file with
pdflatex.  It complains about the same unavailable fonts, but
nevertheless includes many TTF fonts and produces a readable PDF file
with chinese-looking glyphs.
