Rebuilding doesn't make much sense at this point since it just adds a subset

These contain some important DOS era encodings, which are still in use
in localized versions of Windows. As an example, polish version of
Windows 7 expects CP852 to be used in batch/cmd files.
The encodings enabled by this patch are:

Without it, build is failing to generate executable.
Hidden dependencies are frustrating.
This also makes sure the libintl symbols are expected without
'libintl_' prefix, like in all MSYS modules which use it.
