Comment (by lsansonetti at apple.com):

 Currently this isn't very easy, but it should be better once RUBY_ENGINE
 is introduced in all implementations. You can still try to compare one of
 the values in rbconfig.rb, in the meantime. Example:

 {{{
 $ macruby -r rbconfig -e "p RbConfig::CONFIG['RUBY_INSTALL_NAME'] ==
 'macruby'"
 true
 }}}

 Curiously, why do you need Iconv? If it's to create or translate strings
 using a given encoding, you may want to use the String API instead, even
 in pure 1.9. Then, your code would only use Iconv for 1.8.
