It seem that working with unicode is a bit... broken!
- conversion from ucs2 to single-byte charsets are not tested.
  What happen if a unconvertible character is encountered? I think iconv 
  stop at that character and C conversion return truncated bytes..
  some garbage data
- conversion from ucs2 to utf8 have a small problem. We assume conversion
  convert from a character to a byte but a UCS2 character can produce
  up to 3 utf8 bytes... (from2 byte to 3). So many time string are just 
  trimmed. Many unix do not use ucs2 but utf8 so fix for this would be 
  useful more than ucs2 handling

I think fix for this can't be in 0.6 (too place to correct...) but surely
will be an improvement in next version...
