Comment(by drkirkby):
Yes, well spotted. You were right to add it to #8036.
In practice however it will make no difference on Linux, Solaris or OS X
as they all come with a version of iconv suitable for gd. It is only R on
Solaris which needs this iconv package built, as the iconv shipped with
Solaris is not suitable for building the latest versions of R.
Since Minh has already tested this on multiple machines and given it
positive review, I'm reluctant to change anything now, which might delay
the package getting into Sage, as it would then need reviewing again.
Delaying this getting into Sage will stop Sage working on Solaris. Whether
iconv gets built before or after gd will make no difference on any
supported platform.
Since #8306 will have a dependancy on this, you have already taken care of
the gd dependancy, so again I think that points to the fact there is no
need to change this.
