Right.

Not at all. I just need my code to Do The Right Thing? with the strings
it's given. If they are UTF-8 then I can just print them through my
normal 21st century output handling (in error and status messages), but
if they're legacy charsets then I'll need to know *what* legacy charset
they are and convert it.

I think this is something that pcsclite basically defines, and the IFD
drivers ought to follow. Either you declare that it's all UTF-8,
everywhere (which is the sane option in 2014), or you declare that it
follows $LC_CTYPE (which I think would parallel the Windows
SCardListReadersA function).
