Jehan 0efcdfa546 Reorganize test files in language subdirectories.
I realize that the language information a text has been written in is
very important since it would completely change the character
distribution. Our test files should take this into account, and we
should create several test files in different languages for encoding
used in various languages.

uchardet

uchardet is a C language binding of the original C++ implementation of the universal charset detection library by Mozilla.

uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding without any additional information, and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.

The original code of universalchardet is available at http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/universalchardet/

Techniques used by universalchardet are described at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/UniversalCharsetDetection.html
