Thanks for your help Raymond.

I tried iconv but I have other problems now.
I still have to load the file into postgresql because the shapefiles 
datafile (.dbf) is associated with an index file, and I have to use 
pgsql2shp to rebuild it.
I'll try some more though. Maybe iconv before shp2pgsql, then load with 
client_encoding set to WIN1252, then dump.
I'll see how it goes.
