    I've already talked to somebody about this.
    If we're going to embrace glib we should probably
    in the long run alter our UT_iconv and friends to
    use glib's code just to have all our conversions
    uniform. The tricky bit will be making sure the
    build system for glib and the one for AbiWord
    decide to use the same iconv.
