* -1 : unknown encoding
* 0 : data was converted exactly
* 1 : data was converted inexactly
* 2 : data was invalid (but still converted)
*
* We convert in two steps, via UTF-8, as this is the only
* reliable way of distinguishing between invalid input
* and valid input which iconv refuses to transliterate.
* We convert from UTF-8 twice, because we have no way of
* knowing whether the conversion was exact if iconv returns
* E2BIG (due to a bug in the specification of iconv).
* An alternative approach is to assume that the output of
* iconv is never more than 4 times as long as the input,
* but I prefer to avoid that assumption if possible.
