On Windows, some default encodings are not provided by Python (e.g. "cp932" in Japanese locale), while they are always available as "mbcs" in each locale. This patch ensures them usable in a very efficient way by aliasing them to "mbcs" in such a case. Note that IDLE does not start up on Windows unless the default encoding is provided. The patch makes IDLE operable all over the (Windows) world ;-).
