RE: cp1252 sanity check

In agreement with the Unicode ftp stie, Microsoft internal 1252 tables have
(added in June, 1997)

0x80 Euro
0x8E Latin Capital Letter Z with Caron
0x9E Latin Small Letter Z with Caron

No character currently occupies 0x8F (or several others in the 0x80 - 0x9F
range). Win98 is up-to-date with these tables. Recent service packs update
NT 4.0 and Win95.
