------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
 If I join two tables containing common 10-char-long field name, fTools try
 to add the "_" char to one of them, then truncate it and fail to write,
 with no warning message. Could it rename the field name in a more robust
 way or at least warn that the layer won't be created and why?
