RFR: 8214533 IBM-29626C is required for AIX default charset

[Ichiroh Takiguchi]

Hello Roger, Magnus and Alan.
I may need to put alias information into charsets file.
stdcs-xxx cannot handle this information...

Still AIX needs IBM-29626C charset for default encoding...

I appreciate if you give me further suggestions.

Thanks,
Ichiroh Takiguchi
