Your first possibility would be to use iconv directly, see the iconv
documention for this.

You can use such handlers with the functions (from encoding.c):

int xmlCharEncFirstLine(xmlCharEncodingHandler *handler, xmlBufferPtr out,
                 xmlBufferPtr in);
int xmlCharEncInFunc(xmlCharEncodingHandler * handler, xmlBufferPtr out,
                 xmlBufferPtr in);
int xmlCharEncOutFunc(xmlCharEncodingHandler *handler, xmlBufferPtr out,
                  xmlBufferPtr in);
int xmlCharEncCloseFunc(xmlCharEncodingHandler *handler);
