Minoru Kuwahara Apr 7, 2012:
Have never heard of "自前化", which is apparently a coinage of "自前" and "化" as a colloquial/conversational context. See cinefil-san's ref. for the former. As to the latter, it could be often identical in English to "-ize" (as you may be aware), for example, "Japan" + "-ize" makes "Japanize" which is refered as "日本化". Something like this.
