[bug-gnu-libiconv] TILDE in Shift-jis

[Takemoto]

Dear Libconv developers

Sometimes the //TRANSLIT function of inconv does 
not produce the expected approximation, particularly with 
Japanese. 

char(240) from utf-8 to EUC-JP
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=38425

and char(126) from utf-8 to shift-jis
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45017

The php people are saying this out of their juristiction being
a libconv issue.

I particularly need tildes in shift_jis encoded pages/email since,
following the appache standard I have a tilde in my url. 

Please see 
http://md2.cc.yamaguchi-u.ac.jp/~eigo/temp/tilde.php
where I show the problem. 

Tim
ps this email was sent encoded in Shift-JIS and you can see the tilde
