Usage:
              Commands:
               :FencAutoDetect
                   Auto detect the file encoding.
                   Built-in detected encodings:
                    Unicode:
                       UTF-8
                    Chinese Simplified:
                       CP936 (GBK, EUC-CN)
                    Chinese Traditional:
                       CP950 (Big5)
                       EUC-TW
                    Japanese:
                       CP932 (SJIS)
                       EUC-JP
                    Korean:
                       CP949 (EUC-KR)
               :FencView
                   Open the encoding list window,
                   <up> and <down> to select an encoding,
                   enter to reload the file
              Menu:
                Select a file encoding from the
                Tools->Encoding menu just like what you do in
                firefox/IE.
              Options:
                Set these value in vimrc to config this
                plugin. Expmple:
                let g:fencview_autodetect = 1

                "$FENCVIEW_TELLENC"
                  Now FencView allows the use of an external
                  program to determine the file encoding. It
                  may give you better performance, or better
                  accuracy, in some cases. Set the environment
                  variable FENCVIEW_TELLENC (or the vimrc
                  variable $FENCVIEW_TELLENC) to use this
                  feature. It is currently tested against
                  tellenc.
                  (default: 'tellenc')
                  It means if tellenc is executable, it will
                  be used by default. If you still want to use
                  the detection mechanism of this script, set
                  the value to "fencview".

                "g:fencview_autodetect"
                  Auto detect file encoding when you open a
                  file.
                  (default: 1)

                "g:fencview_auto_patterns"
                  Set this variable in your vimrc to decide
                  the pattern of file names to enable
                  autodetection.
                  (default: '*.txt,*.htm{l\=}')

                "g:fencview_checklines"
                  It checks first and last several lines of
                  current file, so don't set the value too
                  large.
                  (default: 10)

Tip:          1 "+iconv" feature is needed. If you are
                using Microsoft Windows, make sure you
                have iconv.dll in $PATH.
                (http://mbbill.googlepages.com/iconv.dll)
                Use command ":echo has('iconv')" to check it.
              2 Make sure there is no modeline at the end of
                current file.
              3 set encoding to utf-8 for better performance.
              4 No effect to Vim encrypted files.

fencview.vim 4.6 2008-12-11 7.0 Ming Bai Progress bar no longer used for better compatibility; one may use g:fencview_checklines=0 to check all lines; do not change the current file encoding if no valid multi-byte encoding is detected.

fencview.vim 4.5 2008-09-05 7.0 Ming Bai Add a workaround (UNIX only) for earlier Vim versions where shellescape() is not defined; avoid using `y$' to prevent issues when folding is used (contributed by Ingo Karkat).

fencview.vim 4.4 2008-06-02 7.0 Ming Bai Fix two problems found under Unix:
1) Big5 can be loosely used for CP950;
2) g:legacy_encoding can be wrongly guessed (it should not be used).

fencview.vim 4.3 2007-11-27 7.0 Ming Bai Make it run more smoothly under Windows with my gVim build (http://wyw.dcweb.cn/#download).

fencview.vim 4.2 2007-05-25 7.0 Ming Bai update

fencview.vim 4.1 2007-05-22 7.0 Ming Bai some improvements

fencview.vim 4.0 2007-05-03 7.0 Ming Bai It merges functionality in multienc.vim: allows the use of an external program to determine the file encoding; use the http-equiv meta tag to help decide the file encoding; use the fileencoding modeline to help decide the file encoding; autodetect the encoding of .txt, .htm, and .html files; add a new command FencManualEncoding to override the encoding where autodetection affects the normal ++enc. Also some minor fixes are made.

fencview.vim 3.2 2007-03-04 7.0 Ming Bai bug fix: set syntax on after auto detect

fencview.vim 3.1 2006-12-11 7.0 Ming Bai A lot of improvements.

fencview.vim 2.3 2006-11-28 7.0 Ming Bai Now it can auto detect the file encodings. You just need to select "Auto detect" from the menu or use :FencAutoDetect command to let it detect the fileencoding automatically.
Supported encodings:
utf-8
cp936(GBK)
cp950(big5)
cp932(sjis)

fencview.vim 1.2 2006-11-16 7.0 Ming Bai Some bug fix.

fencview.vim 1.1 2006-11-15 6.0 Ming Bai Now, you can select a file encoding from the menu, just like what you did in Firefox/IE.
