   * Converts the data from Unicode to a Charset.

   * About the byte ordering:
   * - The input stream is Unicode, having the byte order which is internal
   * for the machine on which the converter is running on.
   * - For output, if the converter cares (that depends of the charset, for 
   * example a singlebyte will ignore the byte ordering) it should assume 
   * network order. If necessary and requested, we can add a method 
   * SetOutputByteOrder() so that the reverse order can be used, too. That 
   * method would have as default the assumed network order.
   *
   * For the last converted char, even if there is not enough output 
   * space, a partial output must be done until all available space will be 
   * used. The rest of the output should be buffered until more space becomes
   * available. But this is not also true about the error handling method!!!
   * So be very, very careful...
