-1. newlib/iconv/ccs/iconv_mktbl Perl script should be upgraded. Currently
- this script can only generate Big Endian (Network Byte Order) .cct files.
- This decreases conversion performance on little endian systems since iconv
- library needs to swap all bytes that it reads from loaded CCS table.
- Something such -LE and -BE options should be added to 'iconv_mktbl' script.
-
- Also, we can keep two .cct file versions - BE and LE (e.g., koi8_r-le.cct
- and koi8_r-be.cct) and iconv library will automatically choose needed cct.
-
- Or we can keep both LE and BE data in one .cct file.
-
-2. http://www.dante.net/staff/konstantin/FreeBSD/iconv/ contains additional
- CES and CCS converters (see iconv-extra-2.0.tar.gz and
- iconv-rfc1345-2.0.tar.gz). These extra converters should be added too.
-
-3. Documentation should be created. It should contain:
- 1) How to compile iconv (configure script options description)
- 2) How to add new converter
- 3) Work principles.
- It would be nice if iconv architecture will be described too.
-
-4. CCS files loading (iconv/lib/loaddata.c). Now file is loaded into memory
- for every iconv descriptor. For example, if one use two iconv descriptors
- for UTF8->KOI8-R and UTF-16->KOI8-R conversions, koi8_r.cct file will
- be loaded twice. To save memory, we should load each .cct only once
- (if possible).
