Does Emacs 22 have an independant implementation of cp936, or is it just 
an alias for gb2312?

I defined some aliases like this (against protests from Dave Love), so 
that we could initialise the locale-coding-system on Windows based on 
the system codepage, without needing a mapping alist to select the 
closest approximation when Emacs did not have full support for the 
codepage. Dave's protest was that it would cause confusion to claim 
support for codepages where that support was incomplete, while my point 
of view was that limited support is better than none at all.
