gchar* g_convert (const gchar *str,
gssize len,
const gchar *to_codeset,
const gchar *from_codeset,
gsize *bytes_read,
gsize *bytes_written,
GError **error);
--> it has from_codeset and to_codeset - sounds like it's used for any
conversion.
But yes, I also suppose it used g_iconv internally.
arg... what I wrote is nonsense, as I now see... I meant "the equivalent
of UT_convert is g_convert".
