[PATCH] Enable iconv code tables

[Ralf Kirchner]

Hi Chris,
If you don't want the UTF8 support you will simply pass a NULL pointer
parameter to the dosfs mount method as you used to in the past.

If you want UTF8 support you will have to pass a pointer to a struct
which contains function pointers to string conversion methods to the
DOSFS mount method. The dos file system will then make use of those
methods for converting strings.
In my implementation the methods pointed to in the parameter struct will
use iconv. The parameter struct gets created and initialized by the
application. Thus only if the application creates such a struct for
passing a pointer to it to the DOSFS mount method, the iconv methods
used by the conversion methods in the parameter struct will get linked in.


Kind Regards
	Ralf Kirchner
