The new cvs does not work for me. The reason? obuf != buffer2
and you cannot do 'eachchar = (U16)buffer2'. So bitswap might
be still needed for whatever system that is weird.
Please refer the man 3 iconv to see how obuf is set.
Attached patch fixed my problem with wvHandleCodePage. Since
it created eachchar from buffer with bit shift, I have no idea
if bitswap is needed. You can check that the result of
eachchar = (U16)buffer2
and the way it is assign in the patch are different.
