if libiconv works while iconv() produces wrong results would it be the
better way to use libiconv in general ? (until iconv() problems are
fixed ?)
No, for the following reasons:
1) because iconv() from libiconv, unlike iconv() from Glibc, totally
ignores locale-specific transliteration rules;
2) because of the unknown interaction between libiconv and glibc. I
tested libiconv by installing in into /opt/libiconv. I heard that users
screwed up their systems by installing libiconv into /usr, and thus I
won't do this myself. Clarification is needed from the maintainer of
libiconv upon possible consequences.
