HEBREW POINT HOLAM HASER FOR VAV is new in Unicode 5.0.

I think that is for Microsoft to do. But it does make their stated
policy of not updating any of their codepages less credible.
While doing that, I would suggest they fix the character name
comments (both in the cp* files and in the bestfit* files) to
align with Unicode 5.0. It is so much less confusing that way.
