thuban and encodings on utf-8 systems

[Didrik Pinte]

Hi,

I had a problem displaying iso-8859-1 shapefiles on a debian utf-8
system (see
http://wald.intevation.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=118&group_id=6&atid=105 )

I've made a little patch to support it but it's iso-8859-1 bounded. 

What are the encodings that Thuban wants to support ? And what is the
policy when reading files with an unsupported encoding ? 

What about the patch ? Is there a cleaner way to do that ?
