"UCS-2" and "ISO-8859-1"

"UCS-2" and "ISO-8859-1" codeset names don't work on HP-UX. It
seems to expect "ucs2" instead of "UCS-2", and one of "iso81",
"iso8859_1", or "iso88591" instead of "ISO-8859-1".
I can tell HP-UX to accept "UCS-2" as an alias for "ucs2" and
"ISO-8859-1" as an alias for "iso81" by editing the iconv config
file /usr/lib/nls/iconv/config.iconv. So, this problem can be
solved from my end of things.

But I'm wondering... is HP-UX being weird, or is abiword not using
the best names for these codesets? I could hack xap_EncodingManager.cpp
to try a few variations, but it doesn't really feel like the right
approach to me.
