Subject:	cyrillic console

Currently, the character set in cyrillic console seems to be cp1251, 
while in cmd.exe it is cp866. Nothing too wrong with this, except that 
cp1251 lacks pseudographic symbols.
I am using cygwin to run tin 1.4 with codepage translation table from 
koi8-r to cp1251. So the pseudographics does not survive this translation.

If the codepage is altered from cp866 to cp1251, is that correct that it 
is easy to convert instead to koi8-r? Why not make this customizable?
I've tried to build some release of cygwin dll but didn't succeed yet... 
well I'll keep trying if it worth it. Perhaps I need to update all 
utilities to newest versions?
