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.
