Comment:
I've created iconv-1.13.1.spkg which is the latest release.
I have '''not''' added the Mercurial repository, as I was not exactly sure
how to do it. This will need to go as a standard package, and another part
of Sage will need to ensure that inconv gets built.
I've marked it as 'needs info' rather than for review, as at this stage
there is no Mercurial repository. But perhaps people can test it out.

I've personally tested it on the following. If the self-tests are
uncommented, (see spkg-install), then all tests do pass except on Solaris
10 (SPARC), where ./check-subst dumps core in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode
on two separate machines.
* sage.math Linux (defaults to 64-bit)
* bsd.math OS X (defaults to 64-bit)
* !OpenSolaris 06/2009 on a Sun Ultra 27 (Intel Xeon processor) - 32-bit
* !OpenSolaris 06/2009 on a Sun Ultra 27 (Intel Xeon processor) - 64-bit.
* Solaris 10 03/2005 on a Sun Blade 1000 (UltraSPARC III+ processor) -
32-bit
* Solaris 10 03/2005 on a Sun Blade 1000 (UltraSPARC III+ processor) -
64-bit
There is still an issue with R 2.10.1 building on Solaris (SPARC), but it
gets a lot further with this iconv package built. We can sort out the
problems with R later. There are tons of options given to the R configure
script, at least one of which is not valid. I suspect by changing the
options and removing the invalid code in R's spkg-install file, then R can
be made to build on Solaris.
