In the infinite wisdom of the relevant standards groups, iconv's
character set names are application-defined, and may be just about
anything.

It would be a great help if you could, for as many platforms as
possible, try to produce simple lists mapping preferred MIME names to
iconv-accepted character set names.  It may be tricky to figure this
out on some systems, since there's no standard way of obtaining such
a list.

<preferred mime name>TAB<preferred iconv name> would be a nice
awk-parsable format for any responses.  

Also, please tell us _precisely_ for which system any lists you
submit are valid, and how to detect that system.

The character sets we are interested in are listed below, given by
their preferred MIME names.

Thanks.
