Update of windows 1252

[Shawn Steele <Shawn.Steele@microsoft.com>]

Sorry, this was the draft that I sent last fall.  We seemed to reach "rough consensus", but I didn't formally submit it.

Please register this update to windows-1252.  I will follow through with the other windows code pages shortly.

Thanks,
Shawn
