New charset IBM1153

[Ulf Zibis]

Hi Boris,

I now have compiled a customised JAR including charset CP1153 for you:
https://java-nio-charset-enhanced.dev.java.net/source/browse/java-nio-charset-enhanced/branches/customer_IBM1153_support/releases/nio_charset_M4_customer_IBM1153.jar?rev=&view=log
Usage (be aware to run with Java 6):
    java -Xbootclasspath/p:nio_charset_M4_customer_IBM1153.jar [-cp 
YourProject.jar] YourMainClass

The canonical name of the charset in question is "IBM01153".

Anyway (I guess, you would more prefer it in standard Java library) I 
would be thankful, if you would give it a try, just for feedback on my 
efforts.

-Ulf
