Do you need to be calling iconv_close() somewhere on the result of the
iconv_open() calls? [Answering myself after reading the rest of the
patch: You're caching these opened 'iconv' descriptors, so you don't
plan on closing them.]

You're using strcmp() as opposed to memcmp() because you expect
're_src' will unconditionally be UTF-8-encoded, right?
