Hi,

For converting external charsets to internal wchar_t format, I use
iconv from that charset to "WCHAR_T", but it seems buggy:

- iconv -l doesn't show WCHAR_T
- echo a | iconv -t WCHAR_T
  does work
- echo é | iconv -t WCHAR_T
  does not work

Is that on purpose? Isn't WCHAR_T an alias for UCS-2LE on x86 cygwin?

Regards,
Samuel
