PATCH 1/1 Windows CP1250 support

Linux contains two codepages for Central European languages (CP852 and
iso8859-2) but neither one is correct for character encoding used in Central European version of Windows (which uses Microsoft's CP1250). This patch adds support for this codepage.

Patch is against kernel 2.4.14 but should apply to newer versions too as this part of code changed minimaly.

Can you please pick a valid license for new files? ("Dual GPL/BSD" is probably what you want).

Cheers, Andreas
