yes, I overlooked it: you do check it in configure.ac through the symbol
AC_CHECK_HEADERS. But this means that we require wchar.h

exists?

I re-read this and realize maybe you misunderstand what AC_CHECK_HEADERS does. It doesn't make the headers required, it simply defines variables to indicate whether the headers exist. What you do in response to that is up to you. In the case of Iconf and wchar.h, we don't enable Iconv if wchar.h is missing. But that doesn't mean wchar.h is required on all platforms...just that Iconv can't be used if wchar.h isn't there.
