In general, I think the idea is good. In the original Citrus 
implementation, there were also plans to use iconv for a ctype functions 
but the it wasn't actually finished so I removed those bits when I 
imported iconv to FreeBSD.

As for the status, at the moment I have other focuses and higher 
priority tasks but eventually I would like to get back to iconv. 
However, I cannot foresee when I will be able to fix the remaining 
problems, which are:
1, Compatibility with GNU iconv. It achieves a good level of 
compatibility but it should be almost perfect so that all ports compile.
2, As for the performance, it is quite behind GNU iconv. The loadable 
modules may have some overhead but it needs some investigation.
