This PR is pending for a while: 
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=133174

I tested the patch many times and never found any problems. Mandarin 
file names all look good.

Is there a way to check this patch into 8.0?

I mount disks with the option -L=zh_TW.UTF-8. Not sure if the first part 
(zh_TW) really matters. ru_RU.UTF-8 works with Chinese file names the 
same way. I guess it should be just -L=UTF-8 but this makes 
mount_msdosfs to fail with some strange error message.

It's very important to have FreeBSD understand international file names 
in msdosfs since this will make it's use easier for non-English users.

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you,
Yuri
