I think "convert_from_internal" is a very Glibc dependent idea...  I
think the iconv specification doesn't require to define "internal
codeset".  Glibc happens to use UCS-4 or something like that as an
internal codeset.

How Citrus iconv works should be explained by someone else.

Citrus iconv doesn't have "WCHAR_T".  Maybe using "utf-8" can work
around this case.  "iconv -l" shows available codeset names.
