[OSM-dev] Osmosis and non latin characters, please add a force option

[Joachim Zobel]

Hi Brett.

Could you please make the parameters
useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8
switchable with a --force-utf8 option. Not everybody can or likes to
change the database charsets. 

It may also be useful for some people to have a switchable
useOldUTf8Behavior=true
option (not shure about the spelling) to mimick the exact behaviour of
the current production system.

Sincerely,
Joachim
