err, BSD's libiconv is even wrose, or say, very bad.
We prefer libhz's table.

A neat trick was done to override relative libiconv functions with libhz's.
libhz is part of autoconvert, URL is http://banyan.dlut.edu.cn/~ygh/ .

That trick is myiconv.c in the patchset. Of course, this should
disappear after the tables in (GNU|libc|BSD) libiconv got fixed.
