  The version in CVS now has iconv support enabled by default if found.
It parses without any trouble all the test in japanese subdir of the
OASIS testsuite on my linux box. So I assume it's working properly for
input. I still have troubles with conf/oasis/p02pass1.xml from the
testsuite, I smell it's related to one of the chars from the new Unicode
planes, I will try to debug this later. So thanks for your help, this
was fruitful at the end !
  Currently the output isn't nice though ... all the encodings are
switched to UTF8 and all the output is saved using &#xxxx; charrefs,
it's really ugly .... Maybe this should be done only if one wants
to save to an ASCII or ISOLatin-X encoding, but not for native UTF8.
  Seems I need to add some kind of routine like
    int xmlSavexxx( fd, xmlDocPtr doc, const char *encoding);

 I need to think a bit more about this but this doesn't look that hard
now ...

  thanks again,

Daniel
