+   This is a simple example showing how a program on a non-ASCII platform
+   would invoke callbacks to do its own codeset conversions instead of 
+   using the built-in iconv functions in libcurl.
+
+   The IBM-1047 EBCDIC codeset is used for this example but the code
+   would be similar for other non-ASCII codesets.
+
+   Three callback functions are created below:
+        my_conv_from_ascii_to_ebcdic,
+        my_conv_from_ebcdic_to_ascii, and
+        my_conv_from_utf8_to_ebcdic
+
+   The "platform_xxx" calls represent platform-specific conversion routines.
