Quoting the holy (and, in this case, not very helpful) open group
standard:
Settings of fromcode and tocode and their permitted
combinations are implementation-defined.

There's no generic way to deal with iconv. The open group standard
is a joke, even the output *format* of `iconv -l' (which shall list
avaiable codesets) is implementation defined. Try this on a Debian
Etch system:
$ iconv -l
$ iconv -l | cat
duh!
And on other systems, you'll see other output formats. So there's
no way to avoid per-system autoconf magic.
