Enable the endianness test.

2005-08-08  Matthias Clasen  <mclasen@redhat.com>

	* tests/convert-test.c: Enable the endianness test.

	* glib/gconvert.c: Make the caching of iconv descriptors
	optional.

	* configure.in: Add an --enable-iconv-cache option, and
	default to disabling iconv caching on new enough glibc.
	Somebody with access to Solaris systems will need to test
	if opening/closing of iconv descriptors is enough of
	a performance problem to warrant the caching on that
	platform. Note that the caching is causing correctness
	problems in some corner cases, thus turning it off
	is desirable unless it has severe performance implications.
