2 changes.

* added Iconv::InvalidEncoding which is raised if requested
  encodings were invalid.

* charset_alias.rb now parses config.charset file directly,
  instead of reading the result sh executed it.

That problem isn't concerned with Ruby and ext/iconv, but is
rather a building issue.

One-Click Installer is compiled with MS VC++ 7.1, but "the
Iconv addon pack" is compiled with MS VC++ 6.0 or before, I
guess.  If it is true, iconv.dll sets errno in msvcrt.dll
whereas iconv.so refers it in msvcr71.dll.

IMHO, it would be no longer a good idea to assemble pre-built
binaries now, on Windows.  I suspect packagers may have to
build all binaries from sources by themselves.
