Using file names and iconv like this may not be portable:
- cp1252 may be called CP1252 (or may not be available)
- reading from stdin is not necessarily supported by iconv
- creating files in CP1252 may not be supported under Mac OS
   (Not sure about Windows)


One solution could be to use ISO-8859-1, convert into UTF-8,
and "convert into UTF-8" one more time.

We can skip using iconv in the test case completely, and use
something like this:
(Fully untested)

UTF8=$(printf '\303\203\302\204')
NAME=$(printf '\303\204')
