The encoding 646 once again

Hi!
Once upon a time i complaint about Sun Solaris' inability to provide a
working iconv implementation which caused my application to try to find
the 646 encoding about some million times - it was not that fast.
Then Tom checked in a fix for that to tell gcj about 646.
The changelog entry was this:
2001-08-17  Tom Tromey  <tromey@redhat.com>
        * gnu/gcj/convert/IOConverter.java: Add `646' alias.

Now i have to give gcj --encoding=UTF-8 in order to work on Solaris
otherwise it says hello.java:0: unknown encoding: `646'.

Could Tom's fix be used on the command line too?

Thanks,
Martin.
