[Scilab-Dev] PATCH for set/get environment variables

[Yung-Jang Lee]

May be encoding for "LANG=C" should also map to  "iso-8859-1" , such
that  characters 'æøå' is a valid string ?


In short, if I don't have further information about encoding maping, I
will set following  maps in my next patch

fr_FR.UTF-8-->UTF-8
fr_FR -----> iso-8859-1

en_EN.UTF-8-->UTF-8
C     -------->iso-8859-1
en_EN---->iso-8859-1

zh_TW.UTF-8-->UTF-8
zh_TW--->big5

zh_CN.UTF-8-->UTF-8
zh_CN--->gb2312

ru_RU.UTF-8-->UTF-8
ru_RU--->ISO-8859-5
