No, for the following reasons:

1) because iconv() from libiconv, unlike iconv() from Glibc, totally 
ignores locale-specific transliteration rules;
2) because of the unknown interaction between libiconv and glibc. I 
tested libiconv by installing in into /opt/libiconv. I heard that users 
screwed up their systems by installing libiconv into /usr, and thus I 
won't do this myself. Clarification is needed from the maintainer of 
libiconv upon possible consequences.
