subject scala-dbc does not handle charsets properly
code
what happened
on my Debian/GNU system with the non-free java package, I don't get unicode strings from a unicode database. the\
re seems to be a hidden assumption somewhere that uses the useless platform default.

it's also possible that this limitation is simply inherited from Java, by using it's I/O classes.see e.g. this article on Unicode in Java.
what expected at least documentation -- the problem can be fixed by specifying -Dfile.encoding=(encoding)
