His patch:

       } else if (name.equals("CodePage")) {
-            if (!value.equals("1252"))
-                dec = Charset.forName("cp" + value).newDecoder();
+            dec = Charset.forName("cp" + value).newDecoder();

Seems to only set the character set when there's a CodePage key in the
file, osm2mp.pl does not output any when run with --nocodepage.

I tried running osm2mp.pl --nocodepage and mkgmap --latin1 on an osm
export recently and all the non-ascii characters were screwed up, it
worked again with --codepage 1252 though.
