I have opinion that at least UTF8 support is fine on Mac.

The same on Linux. UTF8 fine on system.

Well, Mac OS X and Linux surely have UTF8 support but they never have been bound to STLport. Under Windows I used the MultiByteToWideChar/WideCharToMultiByte functions to perform those conversions; it is limited to Windows code pages and UTF7/UTF8 encodings.

Under Linux, as I already told you, I only see libiconv to perform the conversions. But because of the libiconv Api we would have to limit conversions to stateless encodings like UTF7/UTF8. I have schedule support of it but in a future version, surely 5.3.

Locale tests not take into account real locales in OE. So this test may pass under one OE, but fail under another (even similar) OE.

Looks like this will not fixed in 5.2.
