Jilles, Gabor, could you please take a look at the patch, whether it's any good?
Now we still have the case where the system is built WITHOUT_ICONV=. I
think it really depends on the future of iconv in base how complete we
should attempt to make it. Gabor, is there a chance WITH_ICONV= will
become the default in FreeBSD 10?
In general, I think the idea is good. In the original Citrus
implementation, there were also plans to use iconv for a ctype functions
but the it wasn't actually finished so I removed those bits when I
imported iconv to FreeBSD.
As for the status, at the moment I have other focuses and higher
priority tasks but eventually I would like to get back to iconv.
However, I cannot foresee when I will be able to fix the remaining
problems, which are:
1, Compatibility with GNU iconv. It achieves a good level of
compatibility but it should be almost perfect so that all ports compile.
2, As for the performance, it is quite behind GNU iconv. The loadable
modules may have some overhead but it needs some investigation.
