 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
