The conversion named "SJIS" is different from IANA's "shift_jis". It
actually matches "Windows-31J" in IANA, which is too ugly to being
emploied as our conversion name, IMO.

I agree with win1250 -> windows_1250, win1251 -> windows_1251, but do
not agree with renaming win866. There's no windows_866 in IANA. Maybe
that should be "ibm866"?
> koi8r should be koi8_r
Someone said that the conversion table is actually koi8r + koi8u,
being different from IANA's koi8_r. Not sure though.
