Re: [PATCH] Copy and Paste with iconv

Kensuke,

The default behavior is not affected if the new command-line parameters 
are not passed, right?  Is there anyway that you can figure out the 
-winencoding parameter from Windows?  I realize that this is an initial 
version, but it would be wise not to introduce a new command-line 
parameter only to get rid of it shortly.

Is it a good idea to add a dependency on libiconv?  I can't think of any 
reason why this would be a problem.
