Ran playground local and CI builds of these packages at v0.0.8 successfully:
	https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=mingw64-x86_64-win-iconv

Do we really need the fix at git HEAD to add UCS-2-INTERNAL encoding?
Could someone please do any further tweaks for this source git if required, and 
do NMU builds and deploys of these?
[Are we really still building 32 bit mingw packages when we dropped support of 
32 bit Windows << 1%?
Steam estimated 32 bit games PCs ~ 0.25% in 2021, and dropped support in February.
Surveys don't even bother to report that share nowadays!]
