Unfortunatly MITAB does not expose this info either, in the 1.4 branch the
property is private so i had to expose it myself by adding a getter method.
In the trunk the property is atleast protected so that way i can get it
without modifying the mitab code itself in the future.

Would it be possible to add some exposure of charset/codepage info to the
API?
