    Sound good.

    koi8-ru extends koi8-u(RFC-2319) only by one Byelorussian letter.
    But standartization of koi8-ru is not finished at this moment and these
    encodings have different codes for some special symbols (AFAIK).
    (See details on http://www.cad.ntu-kpi.kiev.ua/multiling/
    and http://www.net.ua/KOI8-U/ )

    Maybe it would be better to separate supporting of koi8-u and koi8-ru in
    kernel
    to avoid problems in future?
