Hello,

I've extracted the sources from NetBSD. There are 4 major components:
- the library itself
- the esdb utility (used for generating a database about recognized 
character sets: aliases, ilseqs, etc.)
- the csmapper utility (used for generating conversion tables)
- the iconv utility

All of these build and work now. Only part of the work is imported into 
p4 because I'm working in a local Hg repository so that I can easily 
merge possible changes from NetBSD, so I'll sync to p4 periodically. The 
next step is to make this stuff GNU-compatible. I did some preliminary 
tests in the application period, which revealed some problems but now it 
seems that there are more inaccuracies I had missed before. I'm 
modifying the GNU test suite so that I can easily run tests. The next 
milestone is fixing Latin and UTF family support making the behavior of 
these encoding targets totally GNU-compatible.

Cheers,
