Hi Adam,

I decided to use the two encodings UNICODEBIG and UNICODELITTLE as these
are well defined. UCS-2 is also available on my computer, as are other
aliases for UNICODE. The problem I did see with this name is that it
does not make clear which endianess will be used. I am not sure, if this
will always be the endianess of the computer we are running on. So if
you have the possibility to test this and it works for different endian
computers change it, this will simplify our code. Otherwise we will have
to add different names for different computers, as not always the same
names will be used for encodings in different iconv libraries.
