make guess_init() and guess_impl_register() static functions.

libguess is derived from Gauche-0.8.3, a scheme interpretor by Shiro
Kawai.





int dfa_validate_utf8(const char *buf, int buflen)

This function validates given string is utf8 or not.

buf: string

buflen: length of a string to be validated.

return: 1 if buf is utf8, 0 if not utf8.


const char *guess_jp(const char *buf, int buflen)

detect character encoding for a given string in Japanese.

buf: string to be checked.

buflen: length of a string to be checked.

return: encoding name which can be feeded to g_convert() or iconv().

Encoding name is one of folloings: UTF-16, ISO-2022-JP, EUC-JP, SJIS, UTF-8.

returned string is constant, so you MUST NOT free.

If the given string is not ehough long to destinguish, guess_jp takes
order list into account to determine encoding.

For instance, the order for Japanese is defined as

#define ORDER_JP &utf8, &sjis, &eucj

leftmost encoding has highest priority. it will be applied even if
only two encodings are alive.

if utf8 and sjis remain, guess_jp will returns utf8.

if sjis and eucj remain, sjis will be returned.

this means if score of each encoding is same, 




const char *guess_tw(const char *buf, int buflen)


const char *guess_cn(const char *buf, int buflen)

const char *guess_kr(const char *buf, int buflen)


Although gues_xx() can distinguish UCS-2BE and UCS-2LE, g_convert()
cannot
