Although the ruby test failed in some iconv conversion, but i don't
think it's a problem of ruby. It's the problem of Solaris iconv, when
we run iconv in command line, the same conversion failed either.
Add SUNWiconv-extra as a package dependency can just solve part of the
problem of code set conversion, and how about other iconv modules such
as UNWiconv-extra2 and SUNWiconv-unicode? BTW, SUNWiconv-extra is not
installed in nv107 by default, I wondered if we can add it as package
dependency for ruby.
It seems Gnu-iconv gives better support than the Solaris-iconv, but it's
not include in solaris nv yet.
