What is the "wchar_t" encoding (see gconv_builtin.h) meant to be? Is it
a) the system dependent and locale dependent wide character encoding,
or
b) UCS-4 in machine-dependent endianness and properly aligned in memory?
I'm asking because
1) If it's (a), then it would be good to have also a "char" encoding
denoting the the system dependent and locale dependent multibyte
encoding.
2) I would like to make libiconv compatible to glibc on this point.
