reported a iconv improvement and now feel bad

[Dan Jacobson]

$ echo x|iconv -f big5 -t gb2132
iconv: conversion from `big5' to `gb2132' not supported

All I did was suggest that maybe iconv could tell the user which one
of the args caused the problem, since I bet it knows which.  [user
spelled gb2312 wrong]

Anyways, I got into a big argument and I dont feel like sending any
more bugs to the libc bug address

All you do is whining, here and in other packages.  That's absolutely no
help at all.  If you want to improve "usability" then do the work.
