Some ancient platforms do not have an extensive list of alternate names for character encodings. For example, Solaris 7 does not know that ISO-8859-1 is the same as ISO8859-1. Modern platforms do know this, so use the older names.

The following conversions were performed:
    ISO-8859-1 --> ISO8859-1
    ISO-8859-2 --> ISO8859-2
    ISO-8859-8 --> ISO8859-8
    iso-2022-jp --> ISO-2022-JP
