Pls add NLS module, and CP866 codepage in particular to be able mounting Vfat Thumb drives and use them with Cyrillic file names. Many people have media libraries with Cyrillic movie and music names, and lack of CP866 makes it pain to use Vfat.
For example, when running minidlna, it makes sense to create media DB on another device, and using Vfat allows to mount and work with it in Windows as well. NTFS is not an optimal FS for Thumb drives in any case. Most users access their Pogo devices from Windows via PuTTy, and mount connected to the Pogo thumb and USB drive partitions in Windows via Samba, so Vfat is still rules for Thumb sticks and other drives due to broader compatibility with media players, the same drives may need to be hooked to at times via USB.
