Jehan df67ae4fe0 CMake: get rid of some commented code.
It says that's for Win32 platform and uses the install prefix as library
prefix. But that's not at all the same kind of prefixes!
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX expected value is the path to install the lib (what
is called the "installation prefix"), whereas CMAKE_*_LIBRARY_PREFIX are
the prefix on the file name (usually "lib" on UNIX-like systems).
Anyway I don't see a need to change this value. It will be called
"libuchardet.dll" on Win32. I don't see the problem.
Also this code was already commented out, and compilation and usage for
Win32 works just fine without it. :-)

uchardet

uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding without any additional information, and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.

uchardet started as a C language binding of the original C++ implementation of the universal charset detection library by Mozilla. It can now detect more charsets, and more reliably than the original implementation.

The original code of universalchardet is available at http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/universalchardet/

Techniques used by universalchardet are described at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/UniversalCharsetDetection.html
