Hi Igor,

The file roman.txt should only be needed for Mac systems where it hould
work.  Cygwin sees here no linebreaks at all.

At least with cygwin 1.5.9 it seems that this is not possible:
  I can't open your mapping file (koi8-u)

Seeing the relevant code it was never possible, however, I'm learning C
right now and I patched the options.c file to enable this, I hope it
works.

Everything works ok with cygwin-1.5.9.  I'll try to recompile with
1.5.10 later, maybe that helps...
