Regarding listing the encodings, I'm currently considering two alternatives:

1) Probe g_iconv_open with all the supported encodings listed in the libiconv's
list of supported encodings (http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/). For each
probe, if successful, register the respective encoding with webcore. This
avoids a direct dependency to libiconv but isn't very elegant. 

2) Introduce a dependency to libiconv and use its iconvlist() function
directly. This function takes a callback as a parameter and calls it for each
of the available encodings. Introducing this dependency doesn't necessarily
mean much extra trouble, as
http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-building.html#dependencies
lists libiconv as a dependency of glib on many platforms.

Any other suggestions? Is it acceptable to introduce the libiconv dependency in
the --with-unicode-backend=glib case?
