portable iconv (3)

[Bruno Haible <haible@xxxxxxx>]

The portable LGPLed 'iconv' library is released in version 1.0.

It now implements the transliteration of the Unicode quotation marks
U+2018/U+2019 to the grave and acute accent when the target character set
is something like ISO-8859-1, and to the vertical apostrophe as a fallback.

Changes in 1.0:
* Added transliteration facilities.
* Added a test suite.
* Fixed the iconv(3) manual page and function: the return value was not
  described correctly.
* Fixed a bug in the CP1258 decoder: invalid bytes now yield EILSEQ instead of
  U+FFFD.
* Fixed a bug in the Georgian-PS encoder: accept U+00E6.
* Fixed a bug in the EUC-JP encoder: reject 0x8E5C and 0x8E7E.
* Fixed a bug in the KSC5601 and JOHAB converters: they recognized some Hangul
  characters at some invalid code positions.
* Fixed a bug in the EUC-TW decoder; it was severely broken.
* Fixed a bug in the CP950 converter: it recognized a dubious BIG5 range.

Changes in 0.3:
* Reduced the size of the tables needed for the JOHAB converter.
* Portability to Win32.
