So, let's say in five years, apr-iconv hasn't been touched, but Red Hat
11.3 comes with an iconv() which supports a bunch of new charsets. It
would be a shame if we ignored that functionality in favor of something
less useful but more portable.

Do we have some way of determining that the native iconv is decent and
using it instead of our own?

(Of course, I would hope that in five years more of the world is using
UTF-8. But there's no guarantee of that.)
