Ah, I think someone forgot to tell me...

The mac carbon vm only considered ShiftJIS, UTF-8 and macroman as a  
result of asking and being told these were the only ones used a few  
years back.
But since you use kCFStringEncodingISOLatin1, I'll add Latin1/ 
iso-8859-1 to the mix and make that the default...
Likely that will get folded into 3.8.10b6 since I pushed 3.8.10b5 out  
a few minutes ago
