---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Currently the SHP provider follows strictly the DBF specification when
 creating new DBF files and replaces the localized names with ASCII
 "FieldNNN" names. This defect calls to relax the behavior and generate
 proper multibyte field names (e.g. Japanese or Chinese).

 NOTE1: reading the localized field names is already in place.

 NOTE2: in order to produce DBF files with localized field names the
 application must either A) run on a machine with the proper locale or B) a
 SetLocale() should be called before Apply schema.
