This implementation in scan expects the environment settings to be 'language_country.encoding', but i think the more general way is 'language_country.encoding@variant'.
i get the following error from scan, because iconv doesnt know 'ISO-8859-15@euro'.
<snip>

I suggest to change scan.c as follows:

This cuts the '@variant' part from charset, so that iconv will find its way.
cheers,
