[PATCH][BZ 15593] Add transliteration data for "LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE" (Ã)

[Toke HÃiland-JÃrgensen <toke at toke dot dk>]

Hi

When running transliteration for text including the Danish letter 'Ã', a
? is produced rather than a proper transliteration:

$ echo test à test | iconv -f utf8 -t ascii//translit
test ? test

This patch adds transliteration data for the small and capital
versions of this letter (LATIN {SMALL,CAPITAL} LETTER O WITH STROKE).
After applying the patch and rebuilding the locale, proper
transliteration is achieved:

$ echo test à test | iconv -f utf8 -t ascii//translit
test oe test

Tested on Arch Linux and CentOS 6.

The choice of transliteration to the phonetic 'oe' is primarily based on
being a native of Denmark (it's how my name is spelled on plane tickets
and in my passport...), and on comments from comments from
keld@keldix.com (see bugzilla comment thread), but these sources seem to
agree:
