Suggestion, It's impossible to maintain the whole of iconv within the apr tree, the thing is just too big and harms folks who already have it installed. But, since this is a bsd thing that we need to make more portable, I'm suggesting we institute its own apr-iconv repository.
Long term, I'd like to see a portable implementation of the build for xlate/iconv/lib housed in apr, that can be statically linked into apr. This would eliminate a bunch of code and portability questions. But the ces and ccs modules, as folks want them, should be checked out of apr-iconv, since they shouldn't pose portability concerns (or can be patched if they do). If this is agreeable, I'd let someone create the apr-iconv cvs and I'll move the sources over there. I'd like to do this today, before we roll. Bill
