  Gnulib module: iconv
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  GNU libiconv is not found if installed in @file{$PREFIX/lib}.
  @item
  Failures are not distinguishable from successful returns on some platforms:
  AIX 5.1, Solaris 10.
  @item
  A buffer overrun can occur on some platforms:
  AIX 6.1..7.1.

  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is missing on some platforms:
  Mac OS X 10.5, FreeBSD 6.0, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, IRIX 5.3, Cygwin, mingw, MSVC 14, BeOS, Android 8.1,
  when GNU libiconv is not installed.
  @item
  This function was not correctly implemented in glibc versions before 2.2.
  @item
  When @code{iconv} encounters an input character that is valid but that
  cannot be converted to the output character set, glibc's and GNU libiconv's
  @code{iconv} stop the conversion.  Some other implementations put an
  implementation-defined character into the output buffer.
  Gnulib provides higher-level facilities @code{striconv} and @code{striconveh}
  (wrappers around @code{iconv}) that deal with conversion errors in a platform
  independent way.
  @item
  This function returns a positive return value, instead of zero, when
  converting from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 on HP-UX 11.
  @end itemize
