Can anyone please help me with this? Please, in wv, look at text.c
*PLEASE* help me fix this iconv byte order problem. Apparently I'm not
detecting the swapping correctly and I'm stumped. I'll send a box of donuts
to whomever does this. This is a show-stopper and I won't allow a 0.7.12
where this doesn't work on any platform.
I'd *really* appreciate the help.
Thanks a lot,
Dom
