Found that my first patch is changed here[1] because the not very
portable nl_langinfo. But the modification(and the current cvs) is not
correct. "setlocale(LC_CTYPE, NULL)" returns the full encoding
string(ex. "zh_CN.GBK") which is bad as the parameter to iconv_open,
where "nl_langinfo(CODESET)" returns the correct encoding string(ex.
"GBK").

For the portability issue, this is a piece of code from gnumeric:
get_locale_charset_name() returns the short encoding name can be passed
to iconv_open, call it after "setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")".

	static char*
	get_locale_charset_name()
	{
	#ifndef HAVE_ICONV
		return "";
	#else
		static char* charset = NULL;

		if (charset)
			return charset;
			
	#ifdef _NL_CTYPE_CODESET_NAME
		charset = nl_langinfo (_NL_CTYPE_CODESET_NAME);
	#elif defined(CODESET)
		charset = nl_langinfo (CODESET);
	#elif
		{
			char* locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE,NULL);
			char* tmp = strchr(locale,'.');
			if (tmp)
				charset = tmp+1;
		}
	#endif  
		if (!charset)
			charset = "ISO-8859-1";
		charset = g_strdup(charset);
		return charset;
	#endif
	}
