changing charset.aliases is not really a complete fix.
for example, iconv(1) does not work if you use "646" as an encoding.
code that is busted because it is using nl_langinfo(CODESET)
to get the charset can be fixed by using locale_charset() from
libiconv (or libcharset but it seems nothing uses libcharset)
instead.
locale_charset() takes the output of nl_langinfo(CODESET) and does
the canonicalization (the lookup in charset.aliases).

as an example:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <nl_types.h>
#include <langinfo.h>
#ifdef USE_LIBICONV
#include <localcharset.h>
#endif
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
const char *codeset;
const char *codeset_iconv;
codeset = NULL;
codeset_iconv = NULL;
codeset = nl_langinfo(CODESET);
#ifdef USE_LIBICONV
codeset_iconv = locale_charset();
#endif
if (codeset == NULL)
codeset = "";
if (codeset_iconv == NULL)
codeset_iconv = "";
printf("codeset = %s\n", codeset);
printf("codeset_iconv = %s\n", codeset_iconv);
exit(0);
}
