[LINUX5250] Euro currency support

[Dietmar.Buerkle@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hello everybody,

there's on more i18n-thing left: Euro currency support.
IBM created a couple of new codepages (aka CCSIDs) that have an
Euro currency symbol. If recode suports these, it should be easy
to add them.

If not there would be an easy workaround: The new codepages are
exact copies of old ones except for one symbol. The international
currency symbol (¤) has been replaced by the Euro currency symbol.

The following table from
     http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/eserver/iseries/euro/roadmap.htm
shows the codepages and the code possition where they differ.

The URL above also says:
  Microsoft is adding the euro to the 125x series of code pages. It
  has been added at 0x80 except for CP 1251 where it was added at 0x88.
