 In wconv_codepage.ipp

 line 57
 {{{#!C++
       { "gb2312",     936, 0 },
 }}}
 the codepage name "GB2312" is expired for more than ten years, it was
 repalced by "GBK" since windows95
 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Page_936] [http://msdn.microsoft.com

 /en-US/goglobal/cc305153], with alias "CP936","MS936" or "windows-936"
 [http://www.iana.org/assignments/charset-reg/GBK] .

 suggest to change it as follows:
 {{{#!C++
       { "gbk",        936, 0 },
       { "cp936",      936, 0 },
       { "ms936",      936, 0 },
       //.....
       { "windows936",         936, 0 },
 }}}
