codepage-setup is intended for the DOS port of Emacs. It maps a single
ISO coding-system onto a DOS or Windows codepage as best as it
can. Since the whole of Latin-1 maps 1:1 to Windows-1252, cp1252 is
not needed.
Systems other than DOS should use the codepages defined in
code-pages.el, which are autoloaded. These codepages map multiple
coding-systems onto the DOS and Windows codepages to provide full
coverage in both directions. The windows codepages have names
"windows-125X" to distinguish them from the codepages for the DOS port
in codepage.el.
