Unfortunately, recode does not appear to support these codepages...

I could put a workaround in tn5250 for those.... if one of those 114x
codepages is selected, it would make a copy of the pre-euro version, and
just change the one code position...

But, what about the Unix side of things?  Anyone know what the appropriate
code position would be for each of the Unix maps?
