 The list of supported charsets in wconv_codepage.ipp is very limited. Any
 encoding not mentioned there will result in invalid_charset_error
 exception on Windows.

 See list of available Windows codepage identifiers:
 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd317756(VS.85).aspx

 Personally I'm very interested in codepage 866 support (legacy/DOS Russian
 encoding, still widely seen in legacy documents in Russia).
 But I think most, if not all, supported Windows encoding should work in
 Boost.Locale (they do work in ICU/iconv, of course).
