Transliteration

Vilistextum transliterates some entities that are not included in ISO-8859-1 (mainly entities and characters from windows1252). The multibyte version of vilistextum only transliterates when the entities don't fit into the target character set. This behavior can be switched off with "--dont-convert-characters".
