+Summary: Encoding.GetEncoding("latin1") throws Exception
+
+System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("latin1") throws NotSupportedException.
+MS.NET returns a Latin1Encoding object.
+
+The "official" MySql data provider (Beta 1.0.1) needs this to work properly.
+
+Simple test case and bug fix are attached.
+
+Output Mono (HEAD):
