James, dstr_* was designed to be extended in such way...

TDS_PBCB* pbcb_cpy (iconv_t cd, TDS_PBCB* dest, const TDS_PBCB* src);
TDS_PBCB* pbcb_strcpy (iconv_t cd, TDS_PBCB* pbcb, const char *src);

Why pass iconv_t just to copy a buffer?
All I need (in query.c) is a function to return byte count of converted
string... Something like tds_get_converted_length(TDSICONVINFO * ic,
const char* s, size_t length);
