iconv is a problem

[Lucretia]

I've had issues unpacking some Amiga archives because of iconv, I've posted a bug here you should look at.

It seems that filename encoding in the archive is ISO-8859-1. The current version of lha does not support it.

This is a patch for this issue. Now, we can unpack such archives with --archive-kanji-code=latin1 option. However, I don't think it is a good solution.

This is another solution. We can disable filename conversion with the --disable-convert-filename-encoding option to avoid the iconv error.

FWIW, --archive-kanji-code=latin1 may not be a "good solution" but it allows me to create lha archives with filenames containing latin1 chars such as "Catalogs/français/appname.catalog". Thanks!
