Just thought some more - and I think that wvHandleCodePage() is guilty.
It's used by
int CharProc(wvParseStruct *ps,U16 eachchar,U8 chartype,U16 lid)
in ie_imp_MsWord_97.cpp
wvHandleCodePage() doesn't try to swap bytes in the order iconv expects
them (i.e. it will work on glibcs older than the one in RH7).
I think iconv order autodetection should be added to wv.
Sorry I don't have time for this.
