Patch proftpd to enable support for charset conversion by using iconv.
This is needed for example when ftp client is run on Windows PC using defaul

Configuratin is made the same way as in samba - by means of two new variables in
proftpd.conf file:
CharsetLocal
CharsetRemote

Reproducible: Always

Changes in docs, man page and sample config still needed to describe new
feature.

I'm interesting to add documentation & sample config to describe this feature.
How can I do this? (did I may attach this files to this bug?? or do something else)?

Please, attach a diff against latest ebuild (1.3.0-r1). It way easier to review changes that way.

I rewrite some codeconv patches received from japanish sites to support AMD64 platform. Also I add support for cyrillic letter 'я' (saying as ya) in CP1251 encoding (symbol 0xFF) with use flag linguas_ru.

Reading http://www.mail-archive.com/[e-mail]/msg613171.html , nls support is a better alternative now, plus I could not find active mod_codeconv development for current proftpd 1.3.2 version.

Please reopen if nls does not work for you and there is actively developed mod_codeconv for current version
