OK, then we'll need
a) for the short-term: in lib/iconv_open.c, apply an EBCDIC -> ASCII
conversion to the 'from' and the 'to' strings. Can you implement that?
And also a rule that removes the anti-EBCDIC guard from the gperf
generated output (in modules/iconv_open).
b) a feature request for the 'gperf' program, to generate two code
bodies, one for ASCII and one for EBCDIC.
