According to the documentation, passing an empty string to iconv denotes
locale dependent character encoding. This leads me to conclude that by
default on cygwin:

cd = iconv_open("UTF-16LE", "");

should produce the same encodings as:

cd = iconv_open("UTF-16LE", "ISO-8859-1");

but it doesn't for characters in the range 0x80 to 0x9f. Is there a way to
set my locale within cygwin so that "" means "ISO-8859-1" to iconv_open?
