- The code and tests assume that the system supplied iconv() would

- always use BOM in its output when asked to encode to UTF-16 (or
32
- UTF-32), but apparently some implementations output big-endian
33
- without BOM. A compile-time knob has been added to help such
34
- systems (e.g. NonStop) to add BOM to the output to increase
35
- portability.
