 Converting to or from "UTF8" yields an error, but "UTF-8" works. This is
 in contrast to other versions of iconv.

 iconv from MacPorts gives an error:
 {{{
 $ echo hello | /opt/local/bin/iconv --to-code UTF8
 iconv: conversion to UTF8 unsupported
 iconv: try '/opt/local/bin/iconv -l' to get the list of supported
 encodings
 }}}
 {{{
 $ /opt/local/bin/iconv --list | grep --extended-regexp --ignore-case
 'UTF-?8'
 UTF-8
 UTF-8-MAC UTF8-MAC
 }}}

 This bug was noticed because pdfjam uses iconv and stopped working:
