Sorry Tatsuo, but I have again question :-)
Why is here hole between encoding numbers?

#define KOI8   16                               /* KOI8-R/U */
#define WIN    17                               /* windows-1251 */
#define ALT    18                               /* Alternativny Variant */
19..31 ?

#define SJIS 32                                 /* Shift JIS */
#define BIG5 33                                 /* Big5 */
#define WIN1250  34                             /* windows-1250 */
It's trouble create arrays with encoding stuff, like:
pg_encoding_conv_tbl[ ALT ]->to_micpg_encoding_conv_tbl[ SJIS ]->to_mic
Has this hole between 19..31 some effect?
