What about the Synapse conversion units ? There is a unit, synachar if i remember correctly that dragged a lot of charsets and codepages internally and converts wtthout iconv support for most of them and uses iconv if the encoding is not supported internally, we could write our own such unit using the idea from synapse, i think they borrowed some conversion tables from iconv.
