nevermind; I've crafted a piece of code that digs out the RFC 1766
language code (e.g. en-EN) and the code page (e.g. cp1252), on
Win98/NT4/2000.

unfortunately, Win95 won't give me the language code; it insists
on using "language identifiers" (such as 041d).  guess we need a
table after all.  oh well.

patch follows.
