Cleaning up this code is part of the roadmap for 0.9.13, but I wasn't
aware that it was returning the wrong value. Thanks for bringing that

Do you know what problems they hit with iconv? It's my intention that
iconv not need to be replaced. My guess is that the issue is failure
to automatically detect UTF-16 endianness via BOM, or missing charset
aliases for some charset strings.
