seeing as I've taken on the S10 builds, I have no issue other than I want it
to build/work with minimal effort.  Stefan can probably comment on whether
Sun's iconv or the gnu iconv distributed in S10 is required.  I suspect that
given the development path of the KDE4 Solaris and using FOSS's iconv,
there will be some "tweaking" required for the builds.

Also, not using FOSSiconv from the perspective on maintaining consistency
between builds (S10, SXCE, OSOL) is concerning from the prospect of
problems.  (It doesnt' run on S10, it runs on OSOL - type of thing)
