Preferred MIME name for ASCII is "US-ASCII", not "ANSI_X3.4-1968". Oops.

 * Returns the number of wide characters output; will never output
 * more than the size of the buffer (as specified on input).
 * Advances the `input' pointer and decrements `inlen', to indicate
 * how far along the input string it got.
 * 
 * The sequence of `errlen' wide characters pointed to by `errstr'
 * will be used to indicate a conversion error. If `errstr' is
 * NULL, `errlen' will be ignored, and the library will choose
 * something sensible to do on its own. For Unicode, this will be
