[Samba] upgrade to 3.0alpha20: accented chars in filenames unreadable

[Simo Sorce]

This is the proper way!
If you have to maintain compatibility, you set the unix charset to be a

Or you mean you want a way to make samba recognize which kind of charset
have been used previously and support both the former and utf-8 at the
same time?

Simo.
