  Gnulib module: iconv, iconv_open, iconv_open-utf
  
  Portability problems fixed by either Gnulib module @code{iconv} or @code{iconv_open}:
  @itemize
  @item
  GNU libiconv is not found if installed in @file{$PREFIX/lib}.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems handled by either Gnulib module @code{iconv} or @code{iconv_open}
  (in the sense that @code{HAVE_ICONV} does not get defined if the system's
  @code{iconv_open} function has this problem):
  @itemize
  @item
  No converter from EUC-JP to UTF-8 is provided on some platforms:
  HP-UX 11.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{iconv_open}:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function recognizes only non-standard aliases for many encodings (not
  the IANA registered encoding names) on many platforms:
  AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11 2010-11, z/OS.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{iconv_open-utf}:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function does not support the encodings UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE, UTF-32BE,
  UTF-32LE on many platforms:
  AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  macOS 11.1, FreeBSD 6.0, OpenBSD 6.7, Minix 3.1.8, Cygwin 2.9, mingw, MSVC 14, Android 8.1,
  when GNU libiconv is not installed.
  @item
  For some encodings A and B, this function cannot convert directly from A to B,
  although an indirect conversion from A through UTF-8 to B is possible.  This
  occurs on some platforms: Solaris 11 2010-11.  Gnulib provides a higher-level
  facility @code{striconveh} (a wrapper around @code{iconv}) that deals with
  this problem.
  @item
  The set of supported encodings and conversions is system dependent.
  @end itemize
