Comment:

 The latest version of R will need iconv on Solaris - currently an option
 to configure, something like --no-iconv is added on R. But iconv is
 mandatory on the latest version with Solaris. Given iconv is not large,
 and does not take long to build, I believe that is should be added. I
 would also suggest it is installed on all platforms - not just Cygwin and
 Solaris. It would give one more item which is fixed, and so less need to
 worry if someone's problem might be their version of iconv is  too old or
 broken in some way.
