The patch seems to be ok as temporary solution for CDs with
Russian file names. And as temporary solution it well suits to the ports
collection, not to the main tree.
In the near future we'll have iconv interface in the kernel which
uses libiconv library written by Konstantin Chuguev. I'm really sorry for
delays, but my current job leaves nearly zero spare time to me and there
is a hope that January will be less busy.
