Comment(by jsp):

 About iconv(): according to the man pages the function is part of glibc

 {{{
 VERSIONS
        This function is available in glibc since version 2.1.

 CONFORMING TO
        POSIX.1-2001.

 SEE ALSO
        iconv_close(3), iconv_open(3)


 }}}

 So for most systems there is no need to have a local libiconv!
 Let's say only Solaris and Cygwin.
