Sometimes I get to edit text files encoded in Windows-1252 (a Latin-1
variant commonly used on Windows systems).  I was very surprised when I
discovered that iconv on the 770 does not support this encoding.

  iconv -l

lists a bunch of names in the 125x series, except for 1252.  I suppose
I'd have to recompile libc6 to get cp1252 support?

I've compiled vim 7.0 with the +encodings feature, but it uses the
system iconv library, so it doesn't support cp1252 either.

What is somewhat more "fun": recode is present on the 770, and recode -l
claims to support 1252, but

  recode 1252..UTF-8 filename.txt

instead of recoding the text, erases it completely.  Bug filed:

I have already filed a bug for that problem on 2006-08-30 and no response yet
https://maemo.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=752
(feel free to vote for it)

You can use the same hack  I use for Streamtuner
(feel free to look how I deal with that in SVN https://garage.maemo.org/scm/?group_id=41) This hack will make your binary one mega bigger (size of libiconv_plug.so) ... I hope that in the next release libc6 will be recompiled with 1252 support to avoid bad hack like this.

I cc this to maemo-developers which is a better place to talk about that.
