It's in my svn repo. However users of non-utf8-only systems won't like
it since it doesn't support converting _to_ legacy codepages, only
converting _from_ them. :) The legacy CJK conversion support is only
partially implemented (and untested) too, but once that's done the
code will still be well under 3k.

Anyway this implementation should do a plenty for the needs of a
program like ffmpeg, since when writing files you should always use
utf-8 or ascii anyway. But it wouldn't work well for MPlayer where
some users want to convert the messages to legacy codepages for their
terminals.
