Cover letter [PATCH 0/2] Locally alias "latin-1" to "ISO-8859-1"
Some systems do not seem to ship "latin-1" as a valid locale, even though they happilly accept more modern official name "ISO-8859-1". Naturally, "iconv -f iso-8859-1" succeeds while "iconv -f latin-1" fails on such a system.
We already have in utf8.c to accomodate overly strict iconv_open() that does not like various spellings of UTF-8 when our users spell it differently from the most official "UTF-8" form. Piggyback on the mechanism and teach outselves that "latin-1" used to be the way to say "ISO-8859-1".
I feel dirty for doing it this way, but I found it the easiest workaround to apply recent patches we saw on the mailing list.
