utf-8

I'm familiar with WideCharToMultiByte and MultiByteToWideChar conversions and could use these to do something like:

UTF8 -> UTF16 -> 1252

I know that iconv will do what I need, but does anybody know of any MS libs that will allow this in a single call?

I should probably just pull in the iconv library, but am feeling lazy.

Thanks
