Comment:

 I believe the iconv package is now ready for review.

  * spkg-check has been added.
  * The Mercurial repository has been added.
  * As shown below, iconv is tested by R and found to be suitable.

 {{{
 Disabling libiconv support on Solaris
 checking iconv.h usability... yes
 checking iconv.h presence... yes
 checking for iconv.h... yes
 checking for iconv... in libiconv
 checking whether iconv accepts "UTF-8", "latin1" and "UCS-*"... yes
 checking for iconvlist... yes
 checking for iconv... yes
 }}}

 The message

 {{{
 Disabling libiconv support on Solaris
 }}}
 is from R's spkg-install, so needs to be removed. That is ticket #8272

 It should be noted that.
  * The test failure seen on Solaris 10 (SPARC) but not on OS X, Linux or
 !OpenSolaris has a trac item for it. #8271
  * The failure of iconv's 'make check' to actually exit with a non-zero
 exit code when it encounters a failure has a trac ticket for it #8270.
