The page indeed specifies

I suppose the problem is the same as with ISO-2022-JP, which doesn't work
either: lynx reads the input octet for octet, and EUC-JP and Shift-JIS get
special treatment by lead/trail byte identifier macros and iconv, but the
input buffer is never seen as a whole, so there's no place to call iconv
on the entire buffer. (I think at least that's the problem, this was when
I tried to add ISO-2022-JP support.)

So this is, with the current source structure, not possible, but IIRC Tom
said he'll do something in that area later.
