Here, I forgot to add cp1251 and cp9XXs.

They already support a coding system of the same name
(e.g. cp720) in a different way.  What kind of confusion
does making aliases cp125[02345678] increase?

I didn't intend to change them.  My suggestion is just to
make cp125[02345678] as an aliases of windows-125[02345678].
Actualy cp1251 is already an alias of windows-1251.
