Subject: Only use utf-8-mac when iconv supports it
X-Git-Tag: 0.1.1^0
X-Git-Url: https://git.ladys.computer/Yseme/commitdiff_plain/refs/heads/current?ds=inline

Only use utf-8-mac when iconv supports it

This should hopefully avoid needing device‐specific character set
configuration for repositories.
