Btw., this is only a problem for the codepages 932 (SJIS), 936 (GBK),
949 (eucKR), 950 (Big5), and 20932 (eucJP). These codepages need OS
support in the current implementation. We could get rid of that if
we had our own conversion routines to Unicode and vice versa.
This is a sure http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#PTC case.
