I'm not sure. For now, I think we should fix the documentation for
locales.conf.

We use libiconv only for TDS7+. That's what I meant.
I haven't completely traced how freetds.conf's 'client charset' gets used
for a TDS 5.0 connection. Can our friend do this in freetds.conf?
[default]
client charset = iso_1
I'm not sure what you mean by "If charset is not given".
