# 259065 07-Dec-2013 gjb

- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the
10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

# 258750 29-Nov-2013 gjb

MFC r258537, r258587:

r258537 (hrs):
Add ICONV_{GET,SET}_ILSEQ_INVALID iconvctl. GNU iconv returns
EILSEQ when there is an invalid character in the output codeset
while it is valid in the input. However, POSIX requires iconv()
to perform an implementation-defined conversion on the character.
So, Citrus iconv converts such a character to a special character
which means it is invalid in the output codeset.

This is not a problem in most cases but some software like libxml2
depends on GNU's behavior to determine if a character is output
as-is or another form such as a character entity (&#NNN;).

r258587 (peter):
Move the iconv wrapper source from libc_nonshared to libc/iconv so
that it is all in the one place again. Rename libc/iconv/iconv.c
to bsd_iconv.c. Compile the wrappers into libc.a so that
WITHOUT_DYNAMICROOT works again.

Add the BSD-licensed Citrus iconv to the base system with default off
setting. It can be built by setting the WITH_ICONV knob. While this
knob is unset, the library part, the binaries, the header file and
the metadata files will not be built or installed so it makes no impact
on the system if left turned off.

This work is based on the iconv implementation in NetBSD but a great
number of improvements and feature additions have been included:

- Some utilities have been added. There is a conversion table generator,
which can compare conversion tables to reference data generated by
GNU libiconv. This helps ensuring conversion compatibility.
- UTF-16 surrogate support and some endianness issues have been fixed.
- The rather chaotic Makefiles to build metadata have been refactored
and cleaned up, now it is easy to read and it is also easier to add
support for new encodings.
- A bunch of new encodings and encoding aliases have been added.
- Support for 1->2, 1->3 and 1->4 mappings, which is needed for
transliterating with flying accents as GNU does, like "u.
- Lots of warnings have been fixed, the major part of the code is
now WARNS=6 clean.
- New section 1 and section 5 manual pages have been added.
- Some GNU-specific calls have been implemented:
iconvlist(), iconvctl(), iconv_canonicalize(), iconv_open_into()
- Support for GNU's //IGNORE suffix has been added.
- The "-" argument for stdin is now recognized in iconv(1) as per POSIX.
- The Big5 conversion module has been fixed.
- The iconv.h header files is supposed to be compatible with the
GNU version, i.e. sources should build with base iconv.h and
GNU libiconv. It also includes a macro magic to deal with the
char ** and const char ** incompatibility.
- GNU compatibility: "" or "char" means the current local
encoding in use
- Various cleanups and style(9) fixes.
