You're right in that these are missing, but they're not same though,
since UnicodeBig and UnicodeLittle have a byte-order mark. These haven't
been implemented, it seems.

Although it'd be trivial to create these, I'm a bit hesitant to add new
encoders/decoders to the java.io stuff, since we're really planning on
scrapping them and moving it all over to the java.nio encoders. (as in
java 1.4)

Is this important to you?
