Regarding page:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mbstring.php

Inside paragraph:
Supported Character Encodings

It says:
>As of PHP 4.3.0, the following character encoding support will be added experimentaly
[...]
>Windows-1251 (CP1251)
[...]

Incidentally, note that "experimentally" is misspelled with a single L.

I'm working with 4.3 and the above text seems incorrect. If I try:
mb_convert_encoding("whatever", "Windows-1251", "UTF-8");
Or even:
mb_convert_encoding("whatever", "CP1251", "UTF-8");

I get:
Warning: mb_convert_encoding() [function.mb-convert-encoding]: Unknown encoding "Windows-1251"

It looks there but its behind an ifdef:

#if defined(HAVE_MBSTR_RU)
static const char *mbfl_encoding_cp1251_aliases[] = {"CP1251", "CP-1251", "WINDOWS-1251", NULL};

static const mbfl_encoding mbfl_encoding_cp1251 = {
        mbfl_no_encoding_cp1251,
        "Windows-1251",
        "Windows-1251",
        (const char *(*)[])&mbfl_encoding_cp1251_aliases,
        NULL,
        MBFL_ENCTYPE_SBCS
};

is Windows-1251 really supposed to be in this HAVE_MBSTR_RU?

(As moriyoshi explain on phpdoc@:)
Therefore cp1251 encoding isn't available unless you have configured your 
build with --enable-mbstring=all or --enable-mbstring=ru.

not a bug -> bogus
