 Informally (that is, I threw together a quick spkg), this works on at
 least one of the linux boxes I had troubles with before, and it also works
 on sage.math.  I haven't tested it on Solaris, and I probably won't have
 time to; I don't have access to a Windows/Cygwin machine.  I would suggest
 that the spkg-install file actually say
 {{{
 if [ "x$UNAME" != xSunOS ] && [ "x$UNAME" != xCYGWIN ] ; then
   echo "Not installing iconv -- on systems other than Solaris and Cygwin,
 use the system's iconv"
   exit 0
 fi
 }}}
 Or something like that -- I'm not sure exactly what the message should
 say.
