Jeffrey,

thank you for your answer! I am trying to get my patch approved of and made part of the regular libiconv release.

As for the parts that I needed to change in the overall source code (which wasn't alot) I can telll you that it doesn't compile free of warnings which to me are benign. I'm happy to make the source compile free of warnings if that's a requirement to have the patch comitted.

Kind regards

Thomas

There are varying levels of quality in the software world. For 
example, Linus is more than happy to turn off warnings so he can 
ignore conversion problems [1]; while Microsoft has an SDLC and wants 
a clean compile using /W4 /Wall and integration of platform security 
features such as /GS, /NXCOMPAT, /SafeSEH and /dynamicbase. 

I can help you with feedback under Visual Studio and the SDLC, but I 
need to know: which is your poison?
