I agree that supporting iconv is a good idea.  But I am afraid
it may take some time to implement it in kaffe.

Adding charset-dependent programs, CharToByte*.java and
ByteToChar*.java, may be a less poor solution, but if
it can be done very easily, it can be a temporary relief
before the iconv support is realized.
