Expected result should probably have 2 bytes as I expect it to be UTF-8 when 
using iconv.output_encoding = UTF-8

Exptected result:
----------------
string(2) "ä"
string(2) "ö"
string(2) "ß"

Description:
------------
If the string $text passed to iconv_mime_decode($text) does contain special 
characters (tested with ä, ü and ß), it will just return an empty character 
for these characters.

In my opinion it iconv_mime_decode should leave special characters as they are 
as long as they're not encoded via Q-encoding.

Tested on Windows 7 and Debian.

iconv.output_encoding is set to "UTF-8"

Test script:
---------------
<?php

var_dump(iconv_mime_decode('ä'));
var_dump(iconv_mime_decode('ö'));
var_dump(iconv_mime_decode('ß'));

?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(1) "ä"
string(1) "ö"
string(1) "ß"

Actual result:
--------------
string(0) ""
string(0) ""
string(0) ""
