The Unicode conversion module, ffunicode.c, linked at LFN configuration occupies
a large amount of memory when it is configured for DBCS.
From a suggestion in user forum, I have found that there is much room for improvement
of the compression ratio of 6 out of 8 conversion tables. This is the result in
table size by modification of compression algorithm.
Japanese (932) 59k ==> 47k (-12k)
Simplified Chinese (936) 174k ==> 97k (-77k)
Korean (949) 136k ==> 103k (-33k)
Traditional Chinese (950) 108k ==> 78k (-30k)
All CP (0) 482k ==> 329k (-153k)
