10 depend on it (e.g. FAT, JOLIET, NT, BEOS filesystems), as well
11 as the ability of some filesystems to use native languages
16 To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module
17 will be called nls_base.

25 The default NLS used when mounting file system. Note, that this is

27 system (if different) to store data (filenames) on a disk.
