I did several changes to the original acon to make it able to handle
other RTL languages in addition to arabic.
I hope those changes will be included in standard version soon.

The changes consist in:
- fixed broken pathname logic (now acon -f ./testdir/testfile works)
- Not changing the keyboard layout by default (in order not to choke with
  Mandrake keyboard layout configurator); only the special acon shortcuts
  are defined, the rest must be defined either with the normal loadkeys
  command; or with -k parameter to acon.
- completed the semi-graphics tables in translation files
- when acon is launched (and if nothing is specified with -f,-m parameters),
  it checks the locale, and does the following:

  for 'ar' (Arabic) locale: load acon_ar.f16 font and iso-8859-6 mapping
  for 'fa' (Farsi) locale: load acon_fa.f16 font and isiri-3342 mapping
  for 'he' (Hebrew) locale: load acon_he.f16 font and iso-8859-8 mapping
  for 'ps' (Pashto) locale: load acon_ps.f16 font and ????? mapping
  for 'ur' (Urdu) locale: load acon_ur.f16 font and ????? mapping
  for 'yi' (Yiddish) locale: load acon_yi.f16 font and cp-1255 mapping


BUGS/TODO:
- The Farsi font is an adaptation of the Arabic one; maybe it isn't the
  best choice.
- There is no cp1255 font (nor mapping) I just copied the iso-8859-8 ones.
- Anyone has any info about Urdu and Pashto ? Currently the translation file
  loaded is the isiri-3342 one. No utf-8 support.
- complete the acon.uni and properly load it from acon
