Transliteration

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