No, wv/iconv shouldn't be even compiled in - if it is, it's a bug (it shades
iconv() from libiconv or libc's iconv).
AbiWord already in theory supports any charset when importing RTFs - see RTF
importer. It uses XAP_EncodingManager::charsetFromCodepage to get the name of
encoding for given codepage number the RTF text is in, and converts all
charactres to unicode using iconv. If iconv() doesn't know an encoding under
the name of form CPXXXX for some codepage XXXX, then appropriate entries
should be added to XAP_EncodingManager.cpp:MSCodepagename_to_charset_name_map
Importing of RTFs with encodings different from locale's encoding works fine
at least for Russian and Chinese.
