The CN.t and TW.t are marked "do not go here if EBCDIC", so they are
just skipped.  The respective CN/TW/KR.pm should be marked, too,
that's just an oversight, since as Encode now stands, it does
not work.

  Okay, I will then mark CN|TW|KR as unsupported on EBCDIC.

The results I got are @15421, so it's Encode 0.95.  I can retry
with later Encode, but compiling in this box is really slow.
Let me rephrase that: REALLY slow.  I think Encode alone takes
hours to compile (the full Configure-make-harness cycle is more
than 24 hours).

It seems that I sadly have to conclude that any encodings that uses MSB in bytes as multibyte character mark won't work....
