Hi Folks,

I've got some time again to keep working on iconv. The last time I 
posted a patch, there were problems with some ports but apart from this 
it proved to be quite mature, so I decided to commit it to the base 
system but the default setting will be disabled. It can be enabled by 
setting the WITH_ICONV knob but whoever does it will take into account 
that it may break some ports from being built. However, this change will 
help me with future work and will also help interested people in getting 
involved in the testing. The rather big changeset is coming soon.

Regards,
Gabor Kovesdan
