Unfortunately it isn;t so simple. :(

iconv is part of latest glibc, and doesn't work well on all systems.
for example, on my slackware 7 there was only a few codepages supported, and
i didn't have 'iconv' binary at all (but iconv() in glibc works)
in slack 8.0 it's ok.

for gabucino (mdk ???) it doesn't support codepages... (empty database?)

afaik, debian has konwert instead of iconv...

if iconv() could support many codepages, i can add to mplayer.
(-subcp iso-8859-2  for example)
