Hi Assaph,
After downloading and compiling the GNU libiconv stuff (which resulted in
giving me the relevant iconv.dll), retrieving a version of iconv.so from the
Ruby 1.8.1-20040402-mswin32.tar.gz file, and plonking those files in the
correct sub-directories of the directory where I installed Ruby 1.8.1 in the
first place, everything works as it should. Thank you very much for your
advice.
I had just started using Yoshida Masato’s Uconv routines (which worked
perfectly well, thank you as well Yoshida Masato), but I prefer to use
software that has been declared as ‘standard’ by the Ruby community, and am
glad I can do so from now on.

IIUC, the .so files are just the connection ruby needs to the actual
iconv.dll - you still need that.You should download and compile iconv and readline from GNU.org.
