I would go for a ./configure --with-iconv where the default is without. So people who need it can use it and others who dont, wont.  
After the patch, configure will automaticly detect if iconv exist and will use it. if it does not exist, the charset_convert function will still be defined, but with empty body, which behaves the same except that the text will not be encoded.
Its possible to strap some "iconv replacement" logic instead of the empty body so that if iconv exists it will be used, otherwise - the replacement logic.
