Yes, this encoding only exists in the Apple fork of iconv, which is open-source (probably because of the original license); tarballs can be found at [2]. However in typical Apple fashion the versioning of their iconv fork is kind of undecipherable and hard to relate to the upstream iconv versioning. Also, I searched the iconv mailing list [3] when I came across this error and the consensus seemed to be that they do not intend to add this encoding upstream. Cheers, Philippe.
