hfs has a codepage option as well, but I don't know its default in the various countries, but it could be different from DOS.

Yes. Since this comes from Mac world, it definitely makes sense to add CONFIG_MAC_CODEPAGE_DEFAULT, the corresponding module parameter, and make hfs (FIXME: anything else?) use this. However, I have no hfs filesystems, and thus can't test my changes.

Help from anyone who understands hfs code is welcome. In particular, what currently happens by default WRT the codepage? Where is the code responsible for this?
