[Scilab-Dev] A few changes in localization and configure options.

[Yung-Jang Lee]

In previous version I use the converter  only for two-byte character  set (
Chinese,Japanese and Korean).

-----------------------------previous
version------------------------------------------
                     stricmp("zh_TW", lang)==0 || stricmp("zh_CN", lang)==0
||
stricmp("ko_KR", lang)==0 || stricmp("ja_JP", lang)==0

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I find that under Windows, only code page 1252 (Latin 1 languages:
Afrikaans, Basque, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Faroese, Finnish,
French, Galician, German, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Malay, Norwegian,
Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish.  ) does not need converter.  So I
change it to

 ----------------------------------current
version-----------------------------------------------
#ifndef _MSC_VER
       // under Windows, it need a converter  if Code Page is not CP1252
(Latin 1 languages)
       if ( stricmp("CP1252", encoding) !=0 ) unicodeSubset=FALSE;
#else
      /*Under linux,  it need a converter for non-unicode encoding */
      if ( stricmp("utf-8", encoding) !=0 && stricmp("utf8", encoding)!=0 &&
stricmp("", encoding) !=0 )
          unicodeSubset=FALSE;
#endif
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I think Russian (CP1251)  for example, also need   a charset converter under
Windows and current implementation should work for this case.

Before final release of Scilab 5, it may be better to create necessary
localization files ( scilab.mo, localization.jar ...) and let each language
translator to test their translations.
