In the meantime I found a list of all supported Windows and OEM
codepages here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/bb964655.aspx

So, AFAICS, we can now support all relevant Windows codepages,
except for the three double-byte codepages 936 (GBK), 949 (Korean),
and 950 (Big5).  I look into supporting them as well at one point,
but I can't promise that I can do that for the first official Cygwin
1.7 release.
