Cool.

One of the big unmerged areas between Classpath and libgcj is the
charset conversion code.  I've been hoping we could switch everything
over to use java.nio instead of picking an implementation.  Does that
seem reasonable?  What about efficiency?  And can the java.nio
converters still use iconv as a fallback?

Yeah.  Let me know when that happens.  Or, just submit a patch to
index.html :-)
