#8191: Add iconv need for Solaris, and possibly Cygwin too.

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
The latest version of R in Sage 2.10.1, needs a powerful version of iconv.
The version of iconv in Solaris is not sufficiently powerful. This is
documented in the 'R Installation and Administration' manual under the
''Solaris'' section.
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.pdf
#3381 added a command line option to the configure script to disable the
use of iconv.
For a long time R has been reporting messages that this option would be
removed, and it would be necessary to install iconv. Well that time has
come.

So we must have an inconv package. I will create one.
It looks as though this will be needed on Cygwin also - see #7319.
