Well, if it's not glibc, it must be Mac OS, right?. UCS-2-INTERNAL seems to be
an Apple thing actually. In any case, they should be trying all known variants
at runtime instead of hardcoding whatever at compile-time. I don't think
assuming iconv() supports any kind of UCS-2 is very portable, using UTF-8 and
converting from/to UCS-2 by hand if required would be better and incidently UTF-8
doesn't have any endian issues.
