I would never have predicted that one of the first "victims" of iconv
would be a fellow in Switzerland using VMS. :-)
The way I suggest we fix this:
1. Patch sybase_character_sets.h such that tds_canonical_charset_name
returns "UCS-2" when passed "UCS-2LE", when compiled for VMS.
2. Replace hard-coded entry with 'tds_canonical_charset_name("UCS-2LE")'.
I think that will do the trick. Naturally I'm open to suggestions.

P.S. If VMS doesn't have strncpy(), please consider adding one to
src/replacements.
