One of the big complaints I hear in trying to Unicodize Linux is that
that EUC-JP, Shift-JIS, and CP932 are all encodings that include
JIS X 0208; but they all map the JIS X 0208 portion differently.
So EUC-JP <-> Shift-JIS produces different results than EUC-JP <->
Unicode <-> Shift-JIS. That's not prefectly interoperable.
