OK, unless I'm really missing something, this is a "no way" proposition.
What I could really use is a _simple_ way to create non-EBCDIC literal
strings. So that I could easily do somethng like:

const char[]=ISO8859-1("This is an ISO8850-1 encoded string");

Yes, I could just render that in "escape sequences". But that is _ugly_ and
not as easily (intuitively) understood. Or I could use iconv() to convert
it at run time.

And ideas no how to accomplish my goal - easily?
