wchar_t on Solaris 8

[Benjamin Kosnik]

I don't know what Solaris does.

>What's the encoding of whar_t in gcc3.2?

On linux, wchar_t is a 4byte type, and the encoding is UCS4 but with the
native byte order. This can be represented by the WCHAR_T encoding in
iconv.

Ie, like this:
   iconv_t des = iconv_open("UTF-8", "WCHAR_T");

You might want look at the test cases in:

22_locale/codecvt/unicode/*
22_locale/codecvt/*

Also, this documentation is pretty weak at the moment but it might be
helpful:

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/22_locale/codecvt.html
