TSCII iconv module (followup)

[Thuraiappah Vaseeharan]

Just to clear up my previous post a little bit:

Locale:
LC_ALL=ta_IN.TSCII 
(Created with localedef and verified with commands like date, cal etc.)

The test program I used:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <libintl.h>
#include <locale.h>

int main(int argc, char*argv[])
{

        setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
        bindtextdomain ("hello", "/usr/lib/locale/");
        textdomain ("hello");
        puts(gettext ("Hello, World\n")) ; ;
}

and the .po file (in Tamil UTF-8)

The program works as expected with the .po file is in TSCII. I was expecting 
gettext will automagically convert UTF-8 to TSCII if the .po file is in 
UTF-8. However, it just dumps the individual bytes of the UTF-8 string.
