"646"

This fix for Encode::Alias should make Solaris happy:

The thing is that langinfo(CODESET) which is the first thing
encoding::_get_locale_encoding() tries, returns "646" in Solaris.
Apparently Solaris recently changed this.

No, the 646 is not 20 houses down from the the beast, it's the ASCII.

Yes, the _get_locale_encoding() could and probably should be made
a public API, dropping that leading underbar.

I don't know what's going on with HP-UX and 'roman8', sorry, Merijn.
