OK, maybe I should rephrase ... wouldn't it be sensible for
Kannel to use publically available iconv routine rather than
building their own. Some OS's have implementations of
libiconv, some of which are broken, and there is a seperately
maintained libiconv package which can be used on those
systems.
The mutt developers had the same problem and have some reasonable
configure test routines to see whether you can use the system's
local routines, or need the external package.
