[Mono-dev] [PATCH] Add default code page to build system

[Kornél Pál]

Our compiler, mcs uses ISO-28591 as the default code page. This means that
the whole class library is compiled using this code page and we seem to use
this code page (ISO-28591) as it compiles. The only exception is
Microsoft.VisualBasic. It uses UTF-8 for a long time and it uses
/codepage:650001 in it's Makefile.

The patch does not change the code page we use. Currently it's primary goal
is that we should specify our default code page on mcs code page instead of
in mcs source code that should use Encoding.Default as the default code
page. Specifying default code page on command line let us use csc.exe as
well on all systems at it defaults to Encoding.Default.

Is the patch OK to commit or are there any other issues?
