Here's my knowledge on this issue: I had to compile libiconv with the
--extra-encodings flag to get all the encodings that R5 supports. (This
just added IBM437, a.k.a. MS_DOS_CONVERSION) Apparently
older glibc were quite inferior to libiconv, but newer ones are better
than older ones. (comparable?) And just for kicks, check this,
apparently the glibc version does *not* use const. LOL
