This patch was originated from m-Wise code, so I'm not sure I'm allowed to vote on it.. but if for nothing else, at least it introduces iconv into Kannel - which I think is mighty useful. except that, all I can say is "works for me(tm)".
ok, let's interpret this as +1 :)
My main concern is what the developers thing of having another
hard-wired dependency to third-party software, iconv in this case.
standard libxml bails if iconv is not there. I did run into that problem on earlier MacOS X systems (10.2 and newer is ok)
However you can get around this by doing ./configure --without-iconv when you compile libxml. It probably has some replacement function.
Now to the stupid question. What is iconv doing at all and why do we need it?
Also if libxml has a replacement function for systems which dont have it, can we simply rely on libxml for solving it for us?
