based off the current git HEAD [1].
Reason: The current git HEAD is a reasonable alternative to
GNU libiconv; all encodings that it supports, other than EUC-JP
and GB18030, have reasonably good conversion tables. Wherease the
current Cygwin packages are based off source code from 2013
and have a major problem already with the ASCII encoding.

Ran playground local and CI builds of these packages at v0.0.8 successfully:

Do we really need the fix at git HEAD to add UCS-2-INTERNAL encoding?
Could someone please do any further tweaks for this source git if required, and
do NMU builds and deploys of these?
[Are we really still building 32 bit mingw packages when we dropped support of
32 bit Windows << 1%?
Steam estimated 32 bit games PCs ~ 0.25% in 2021, and dropped support in
February.
Surveys don't even bother to report that share nowadays!]
