Changing everything to use ShiftJIS (or, more appropriately on
Windows, CP932) is just changing the nature of the problem. Perhaps a
better solution would be to use iconv() to transcode the EUC-JP text
to CP932, at least when certain options are set. Doing this would
eliminate the duplication of messages that differ only in their
encoding.

I haven't looked at the Doxygen source in a long while: I don't know
if changing the Japanese encoding would effect the lexer at all... I
would expect not.

In any event, this could be used too to support different Russian
encodings.
