[erlang-questions] An NIF example (libiconv binding)

[Dave Smith]

A big thanks to the OTP team for the ErlNifResourceType! :) Indeed,
the NIF API is really quite nice now and once it has a way to send
messages to other processes, I think most of the ports I wrote will be
better done as NIFs (since I typically hand off to other threads for
processing).

Keep it up OTP team! :)
