  Well, anyway i don't have time to write EXT4 :-)

  P.S. Okay, as Roman suggested i will:
  1. Replace "hfscodepage" with "codepage".
  2. Fix coding style.

  But i would strongly suggest to leave dynamic table algorythm as is. 
Please beleive me, i wrote it because it's really needed.
  Roman, is it okay?
