WCHAR_T conversion is not supported by FreeBSD's implementation of
iconv so you must install GNU libiconv (converters/libiconv port).
Then compile your code with "-I/usr/local/include" to use
/usr/local/include/iconv.h instead of /usr/include/iconv.h and link
your code with "-L/usr/local/lib -liconv".
