Creating a new reader with windows-1255 as the input charset.

Windows-1255 is a standard encoding (Hebrew), IMHO it should be supported :)

I went ahead and added a patch for that (since the difference between 
windows-1255 and iso-8859-8 is RTL direction, I just copied the data file of 
8859-8 to windows-1255.cp and generated the necessary code. Checked it and it 
converts perfectly.
