Problem with HP/UX and Max OS X (Linux work, others not tested) is
charset names. Mac OS X recognize ISO8859-1 but not ISO-8859-1. HP/UX

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.
