Special cases are ignored #1

The script doesn't follow the standard correctly. There are some special cases that it ignores. For example the name "ΜΠΑΜΠΗΣ" should be translated as "BAMPIS" not as "MPAMPIS". "ΜΠ" on the beginning or the end of a word is converted to "Β".

Hello,

This is an unmaintained repo for whomever finds it useful.

There is a good implementation in ruby by @agorf where special cases are handled correctly:

https://github.com/agorf/greeklish_iso843/blob/master/lib/greeklish_iso843/greek_text.rb

While I am not interested right now to fix this library, I would review and merge a pull request implementing the above logic in python.
