Oh, I see. Well, we already have most of the code in encodings.c. It just needs to be put back into the build and hooked up to the menu. Shouldn't take me more than a day to do, if people think that is something that should be done. There was no one requesting it in the feature request tracker, so it didn't get on the to-do list.
Unfortunately we already went to string and code freeze on the changes that I just finished, so to avoid irritating our hard working translation team it should probably wait one release. Comments welcome.
