SoC 2009: BSD-licensed libiconv in base system

[Buganini]

Hi all,
I'm also working on a BSDL charset converter library:
http://github.com/buganini/bsdconv/
It's *NOT* compatible with iconv. It  try to provide more function,
including fallback charset, intermediary mapping.
Intermediary mapping could be used to do conversion between
Traditional/Simplified Chinese, CRLF/CR/LF, etc.
Currently iconv can only convert Chinese from/to big5/gb2312, it can't
convert Chinese in unicode data.
Unicode is prefixed with 0x01 in internal encoding. Therefore charsets
like CNS11643, which has symbols not in UNICODE can use other prefix.
It's in early developement, supporting few charset by now.
