Jehan 2bade77bf9 tests: update Window-1250 test file for Hungarian. 
ISO-8859-2 and Windows-1250 are absolutely similar for all letters in
the Hungarian alphabet. So for most texts, it is not an error to return
one charset or the other.
What could make the difference is for instance that Windows-1250 has
some symbols where ISO-8859-2 has control characters, like quotes,
dashes, the euro symbol…
Since control characters have a negative impact on confidence now,
texts with such symbols would tend towards Windows-1250 decision.
The new test file has such quote symbols.

uchardet

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.

uchardet started as a C language binding of the original C++ implementation of the universal charset detection library by Mozilla. It can now detect more charsets, and more reliably than the original implementation.

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
