Need a cache for ucnv_open()

Wez,
zend_unicode.c may be a good bet, since the engine has to deal with
various encodings anyway (script, output, runtime)

Since this cache needs to always be present (to avoid crazy
conditional compilation) we either need to put it in zend_unicode.c or
put it in ext/unicode and always require it to be statically compiled
into php.

Thoughts?

 I'd go with zend_unicode.c as you can disable ext/unicode.

A number of extensions/functions (strangely, most of the things I work
on :-) will need to be able to convert between unicode and arbitrary
encodings. It makes a lot of sense to keep some kind of per-request
cache (of limited length) to avoid having to load and unload the
conversion table on each conversion attempt.

zend_unicode.c is the place for it, IMHO.
