[Bug libc/3176] New: iconv to LC_CTYPE/LANG environment

["hadmut at danisch dot de" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

Hi,

when converting strings with iconv from one character set to another you always
need to know what character set is expected e.g. for input and output on the
terminal. Would be nice to have iconv convert a character string to whatever the
terminal expectes, given by LANG and LC_CTYPE environment.

This would allow to handle strings as UTF-8 internally and then simply convert
them to the terminal charset whatever this is.

regards
