+DESCRIPTION="
+	For historical reasons, international text is often encoded using a 
+	language or country dependent character encoding. With the advent of the 
+	internet and the frequent exchange of text across countries - even the 
+	viewing of a web page from a foreign country is a \"text exchange\" in this
+	context -, conversions between these encodings have become important. 
+	They have also become a problem, because many characters which are present 
+	in one encoding are absent in many other encodings. To solve this mess, 
+	the Unicode encoding has been created. It is a super-encoding of all 
+	others and is therefore the default encoding for new text formats like XML.
+
+	Still, many computers still operate in locale with a traditional (limited) 
+	character encoding. Some programs, like mailers and web browsers, must be 
+	able to convert between a given text encoding and the user's encoding. 
+	Other programs internally store strings in Unicode, to facilitate internal 
+	processing, and need to convert between internal string representation 
+	(Unicode) and external string representation (a traditional encoding) when 
+	they are doing I/O. GNU libiconv is a conversion library for both kinds 
+	of applications.
+
+	This library provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which 
+	don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.
+	
+	It provides support for the encodings:
+
+	European languages
+	    ASCII, ISO-8859-{1,2,3,4,5,7,9,10,13,14,15,16}, KOI8-R, KOI8-U, 
+	    KOI8-RU, CP{1250,1251,1252,1253,1254,1257}, CP{850,866,1131}, 
+	    Mac{Roman,CentralEurope,Iceland,Croatian,Romania}, 
+	    Mac{Cyrillic,Ukraine,Greek,Turkish}, Macintosh
+	Semitic languages
+	    ISO-8859-{6,8}, CP{1255,1256}, CP862, Mac{Hebrew,Arabic}
+	Japanese
+	    EUC-JP, SHIFT_JIS, CP932, ISO-2022-JP, ISO-2022-JP-2, ISO-2022-JP-1
+	Chinese
+	    EUC-CN, HZ, GBK, CP936, GB18030, EUC-TW, BIG5, CP950, BIG5-HKSCS, 
+	    BIG5-HKSCS:2004, BIG5-HKSCS:2001, BIG5-HKSCS:1999, ISO-2022-CN, 
+	    ISO-2022-CN-EXT
+	Korean
+	    EUC-KR, CP949, ISO-2022-KR, JOHAB
+	Armenian
+	    ARMSCII-8
+	Georgian
+	    Georgian-Academy, Georgian-PS
+	Tajik
+	    KOI8-T
+	Kazakh
+	    PT154, RK1048
+	Thai
+	    ISO-8859-11, TIS-620, CP874, MacThai
+	Laotian
+	    MuleLao-1, CP1133
+	Vietnamese
+	    VISCII, TCVN, CP1258
+	Platform specifics
+	    HP-ROMAN8, NEXTSTEP
+	Full Unicode
+	    UTF-8
+	    UCS-2, UCS-2BE, UCS-2LE
+	    UCS-4, UCS-4BE, UCS-4LE
+	    UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF-16LE
+	    UTF-32, UTF-32BE, UTF-32LE
+	    UTF-7
+	    C99, JAVA 
+	Full Unicode, in terms of uint16_t or uint32_t (with machine dependent 
+	endianness and alignment)
+	    UCS-2-INTERNAL, UCS-4-INTERNAL
+	Locale dependent, in terms of 'char' or 'wchar_t' (with machine dependent 
+	endianness and alignment, and with OS and locale dependent semantics)
+	    char, wchar_t
+	    The empty encoding name \"\" is equivalent to \"char\": it denotes the 
+	    locale dependent character encoding.
+
+	When configured with the option --enable-extra-encodings, it also provides 
+	support for a few extra encodings:
+	
+	European languages
+	    CP{437,737,775,852,853,855,857,858,860,861,863,865,869,1125}
+	Semitic languages
+	    CP864
+	Japanese
+	    EUC-JISX0213, Shift_JISX0213, ISO-2022-JP-3
+	Chinese
+	    BIG5-2003 (experimental)
+	Turkmen
+	    TDS565
+	Platform specifics
+	    ATARIST, RISCOS-LATIN1
+
+	It can convert from any of these encodings to any other, through Unicode 
+	conversion.
+
+	It has also some limited support for transliteration, i.e. when a character
+	cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated 
+	through one or several similarly looking characters. Transliteration is 
+	activated when \"//TRANSLIT\" is appended to the target encoding name.
+
+	libiconv is for you if your application needs to support multiple character
+	encodings, but that support lacks from your system.
