Sorry, I'm not following: last time I looked, iconv supported cpNNNN
codepages out of the box. This is from an Ubuntu GNU/Linux system:

$ iconv --version
iconv (GNU libiconv 1.11)
$ iconv --list | egrep "^CP"
CP819 IBM819 ISO-8859-1 ISO-IR-100 ISO8859-1 ISO_8859-1 ISO_8859-1:1987 L1 LATIN1 CSISOLATIN1
CP1250 MS-EE WINDOWS-1250
CP1251 MS-CYRL WINDOWS-1251
CP1252 MS-ANSI WINDOWS-1252
CP1253 MS-GREEK WINDOWS-1253
CP1254 MS-TURK WINDOWS-1254
CP1255 MS-HEBR WINDOWS-1255
CP1256 MS-ARAB WINDOWS-1256
CP1257 WINBALTRIM WINDOWS-1257
CP1258 WINDOWS-1258
CP154 CYRILLIC-ASIAN PT154 PTCP154 CSPTCP154

CP874 WINDOWS-874
CP932
CP936 MS936 WINDOWS-936
CP950

What am I missing?
