Public bug reported:

Attempting to set the default encoding to KSC in .zhconrc or
/etc/zhcon.conf fails and actually sets the encoding to GBK. Here's the
relevant config file line:

defaultencode = ksc

Also any attempt to use --utf8 with KSC or JIS fails since iconv does
not know those charset names; rather, it calls JIS "EUC-JP" and KSC
"EUC-KR".

This behavior was seen in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with zhcon version 1:0.2.6-8
on architecture amd64, but I believe the problem has been present for
years on all architectures.

Hopefully fixing this will make Ubuntu more viable in the subset of
Japanese and Korean applications where an fbcon-analogue with double-
byte semantics is desirable.

Please find a patch attached.
