default codepage


Since the latest locale-related changes, the default codepage after 
starting cygwin _without_ explicit setting (of a locale variable) 
seems to have changed from CP1252 ("Windows ANSI") to ISO 8859-1 ("Latin 1").
Was this change on purpose?
Maybe the previous default should be kept, to meet backwards compatibility 
expectations of 1.5 users.
