Subject: How are people making use of Iconv?

Since Iconv jumped out of the pond and chewed on my leg the other
week, I've been toying with the idea of a character-set conversion
library implemented totally in Ruby, with identical behavior on every
platform.
However, I'm only using Iconv for simple things, like converting my
music tags from Shift-JIS to UTF-8.

What 'serious' things are people using this for? Are there any unit
tests?  Any gems on RubyForge I can download containing projects that
make use of Iconv? What do you hate about Iconv?

Thanks,
--Wilson.
