  Fix inconsistency in handling illegal byte sequences.
  Convert surrogate codepoints and U+FFFE, U+FFFF to U+FFFD.
  Also, a few extra mappings.
Detail:
  enc_utf8.c: 0x80 is a continuation byte. Map stray ones to U+FFFD.
              Reset the count of expected continuation bytes to 0 when
              encountering illegal byte sequences. Previously, if the character
              callback returned non-zero, this count would not be reset, thus
              leaving the codec in an inconsistent state. Additionally, we no
              longer consume the illegal continuation byte: instead, we process
              it as a start byte next time round.
  encoding.c: Do not load extension tables for ISO-8859-{1,2,9,10,15,16}
              If these are needed, it's probably best that different charset
              names are used rather than overloading 8859-n.
  iso2022.c:  Permit SS2/3 escape sequences for EUC encode/decode.
              Disable C1 characters for EUC encode/decode.
              Fix G94x94 read function to handle GR 0xA0/0xFF correctly.
              Fix writing of C1 controls for 8859-n.
              Prevent dereference of NULL pointer when scanning tables.
  iso6937.c:  Replace C99 loop iterators with C89 friendly versions.
  johab.c:    Fix final_only lookup table to have entries in the right place.
              Map 0x5C to the Won sign.
              Actually pay attention to encoding_WRITE_STRICT.
  shiftjis.c: Map 0x7E to overbar rather than tilde.
  textconv.c: Fix static assignment of stdin/stdout.
  unix.c:     Perform wildcard lookup of mapping tables.
  ccsolaris/Makefile: Modify for use with GCCSDK
Admin:
  Tested with the Iconv module testsuite.
