If it were to go in the VLC tree, it would go to the vlc_iconv*()
functions. But since we build our own libiconv on Windows, that looks
rather silly. We should rather fix the contrib.

I couldn't care less if *BSD are incapable of supporting needed charset. If
someone has a problem with *BSD support, file a bug with them. Just be sure
to check vlc_iconv_open() for errors return value.
