Hi guys,

     Could you add the eight-bit HP-48 charset to iconv?
It's Latin-1 plus various Greek letters and mathematical
symbols, and it's useful for copying files to and from
the HP-48 series of calculators.  I've written a patch
and tested it.  (see attached)

     I copied the table from
http://www.drehersoft.com/mapping-hp48-text-to-unicode/

     The "Latin small a with macron" really should be a
small "x", but Unicode only provides vowels with macrons.
The website explains why they don't recommend a combining
macron over a plain "x".
