I agree. This is a tricky area though, and the libgcj code is
undergoing some discussion. For instance we discovered that the
String(byte[]) constructor was creating too much garbage if you
converted a large number of strings. That's because it was creating a
new converter for each string. So now we're looking at a way to reuse
converters (the patch isn't in yet but probably will be soon).

libgcj has converters for a few Japanese encodings. If the character
set interface were unified then Classpath could simply use these.
Note that this isn't a trivial amount of work.
