Hi,
Please keep in mind that iconv is contributed code from another
supplier of the data. If he wrote the manual page with a local
locale(7). I think we are not to 'blame' for this. However, it
might be interesting to poke the iconv maintainer(s).
We have a locale(1)... Perhaps this is more a ports issue in the
end..
cheers,
Remko
