I think it's a question of how dangerous is it, versus how much will
it help people who are having iconv problems but need Subversion
working in the meantime? Anyway, I'll check it in for now, since it's
basically the same level of robustness as the old code, just without
the extra compile-time option. We can iron out the robustness at our
leisure.
