This one seem to be iconv(). We need a better one, but
I just updated the "fake" iconv() so that outputs what
comes in, and that seem to make google work (at least
if you search for anything 7 bit ASCII). I uploaded it
to 'nsport' but there seem something missing.

I see multiple options for iconv() ... 1) write something
that uses tcs(1), 2) use the iconv() for RISCOS (separate
netsurf repo) requires to implement some unicode routines.
3) find some suitable iconv() implementation; Jens Staal
ported APR iconv() but it is quite big and a bit tricky to
build. There is also gnulib in ports, but I rather not go
that route. Iconv() is not connected to the framebuffer
frontend, but generally needed for the browser. What do
you all think? Do you know of a sleek iconv()
implementation?
