 When connecting to this WMS site:
 http://mapserveur.application.equipement.gouv.fr/map/mapserv?map%3D%2Fopt%2Fdata%2Fcarto%2Fcartelie%2Fprod%2FDRE_Aquitaine%2FContournement_Autoroutier_de_Bordeaux_29_08_06.www.map,
 an exception will be thrown: XML Document parse error at line 1 column 62:
 An exception occurred! Type:TranscodingException, Message:Could not create
 a converter for encoding: ISO-8859-15.

 ISO-8859-15 is a newer standard which contains the Euro-Currency-Symbol.
 It's currently not supported by the Xerces library used by FDO. That's why
 an exception will be thrown from Xerces.

 I googled on internet on this encoding and found someone had already
 reported this issue to Appache Xerces community:
 http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1167. That person also wrote
 a transcoder for ISO-8859-15. Refer to the same page for the two files:
 XML885915Transcoder.cpp and XML885915Transcoder.hpp.

 I then integrated that transcoder into the Xerces source tree, rebuilt a
 new version by myself and then tried the temporary build. It works fine.
 The WMS server can be connected successfully. I also took a look at the
 latest Appache Xerces Source Tree (3.0.1), it seems that this transcoder
 hasn't been integrated. Not sure why it hasn't been integrated.
