Problem with column-name 11 chars long

[nika-styrfabriken]

If a column name is 11 chars long there is some garbage chars added to the name.
I have a columnname 'STOREMETHOD,C,64' which renders 'STOREMETHODC|,C,64' when a new file is created.

The dBaseIV standard for field names defines a maximum length of 10 characters, all capitals, with no blanks or special characters other than the underscore. So probably an exception should be thrown if the maximum length is exceeded.

perhaps an exception would probably be the right approach, however given the current behavior this might break other projects using this library. at least a warning would suffice for now.

on other projects dealing with this kind of issues, we had better experience with trimming the headers' names, in case of duplicates, append windows-style "~1", "~2", "~3", suffixes.

in case of some gdal tools, they simply just trim the header and log a warning.
