While we are at it, we should do this with libpng also, since every time a
new RH release comes out, libpng break abiword.  We want abiword to work
out of the box everywhere, and sadly that means carrying our libraries

Despite this being horribly ugly, I wouldn't be opposed to it if I didn't
think that there would eventually be other problems with iconv.
