For BSD iconv internal name of "US-ASCII" is "ISO646-US", as
iconv_canonicalize(3) shows. And for that name only one conversion table
exists, from US-ASCII to UCS, which is void (does nothing):
/usr/src/share/i18n/csmapper/ISO646/ISO646-US%UCS.646.src
What we need to make to US-ASCII translation work is
MISC/UCS%ISO646-US.src table, which can be made from f.e.
ISO-8859/UCS%ISO-8859-15.src table. BTW, I see
ISO-8859/UCS%ISO-8859-1.src transliteration is missing too.
It will be better when somebody who knowns Citrus internals will look
there. Who "owns" our Citrus code now and in contact with Citrus
developers? We need some coordination here.
