I've expanded the Unicode support to the field names as well.  It's been 
committed to the SVN.

Also, I've been in contact with Frank Warmerdam about the state of 
maptools' shapelib and it looks really promising.  He's interesting in 
the modifications I've made for the Unicode support, and I will probably 
help him out to put together a new release.
