I'm working on a replacement iconv that takes gnu iconv names and 
does all the appropriate mappings using the built-in Text Encoding 
Converter. The main issue is that the mac apis want to work on large 
chunks, where the iconv api can theoretically be called a byte at a 
time.

Right now it handles UCS2-LE -> anything. I'll fool around with it a 
bit more tonight during 24 and see if I can get other conversions 
working. The real issue has to due with BOMs -- the mac won't work 
with little endian order without a BOM, and iconv and MS don't seem 
to require them.
