   This isn't the case in Windows from my testing.   
      
   If a file is already utf-16 and I convert it to utf-16, the new file is   
   blank.   
      
   iconv: c:\temp\bin\temp.xml: cannot convert   
      
   So knowing this, is there a way to detect the file type so I can skip   
   files that are already correct?   
      
   Thanks,
