Yes!
Sybase bcp uses -J, but I think -C might be better. I don't know what "J" would stand for, and your -C works slightly differently.

We need to decide how to handle Sybase servers. TDS 5.0 login packets include the client character set. I think the user should say "-C ISO-8859-1" and we should map that to "iso_1". That way the user provides the same charset name regardless of server type, even though in the TDS 5.0 case it's the server, not libiconv, that performs the conversion.
(Last I checked, we were sending the GNU name for the character set by mistake, not Sybase's name. I don't see a fix for it in ChangeLog.)

dbcharsetconv, dbservcharset, dbgetcharset, DBSETLCHARSET. Or did you mean something else?
I see some of these are missing from api_status.doc. I'll fix that.
