HTML file Character set converter

Recodes the HTML file using a new character set, while losing no characters at all. You can recode shift_jis to euc-jp, utf8 to latin1, iso-8859-15 to GB18030, iso-2022-jp to koi8-r etc if you wish, and none of the characters on the page will become unreadable (unless you specify -l switch, which disables making &#nnnn; escapes).

Usage: htmlrecode [<option> [<...>]]

Reads stdin, writes stdout.

Options:
    -I, --inset    Assumed input character set (default: iso-8859-1)
    -O, --outset   Wanted output character set (default: iso-8859-1)
    -V, --version  Displays version information.
    -h, --help     This help.
    -l, --lossy    Disable lossless conversion.

Pipe in the html file and pipe the output to result file.

I'll soon add an interface for modifying the text content of a HTML file.
This should make making filters like Pootpoot or Pikachifier easier. It is already theoretically supported, but I haven't invented an interface for it yet.

$ make
$ su
# make install

If you do not want to install libargh (included in the archive), do not use "make install" and edit Makefile and enable the STATIC linking instead of DYNAMIC.

If you have problems using this program or ideas how to develop it, email me your questions or ideas. Please do not omit the details.

htmlrecode has been written in C++, utilizing the standard template library.
GNU make is required.
I have g++ version 3.1.0, and htmlrecode compiles without warnings.
You also need libiconv.
