AFAIK NTFS stores in unicode-16 format... ... and Microsoft's interpretation is fixed I think... so no need for trans.tbl.
VFAT is stored in Unicode-16 format.
This just means there's no need to translate out of Unicode space... [Umm.... Linux CAN handle unicode in filenames, right? That's the impression I get from browsing source but I don't know...]
