AbiWord should be able to use any 8 bit encoding for
menus, dialogs, toolbars, and spelling dictionaries.
They all specify which encoding they are in and from
there we use iconv to transform all strings to the
correct encoding needed for display etc. If any of
this fails to work for any given encoding, it's a bug
and needs to be reported.
