Comment:

 Well, meanwhile iconv was buried rather deep in one of my stacks of
 notes...

 The latest patch looks quite fine, so my reviewer patch will be fairly
 small. :)

 Can you confirm that ''reinstalling'' iconv still works, since you also
 dropped ''the code'' that removed the traces of previous iconv
 installations?

 (I only meant ''the remarks in {{{SPKG.txt}}}'' were confusing, especially
 the second - perhaps unrelated - paragraph; see my
 [http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9603#comment:21 comment above].
 I suggested replacing this by ''"When updating the package, one should
 make sure all traces of previous installations of iconv still get removed
 prior to [re]installation."'', unless this has become obsolete now, which
 I don't know.)

 Also, can you check if using {{{$MAKE}}} instead of {{{make}}} in both
 {{{spkg-install}}} and {{{spkg-check}}} (especially when doing a parallel
 build, i.e. with multiple {{{make}}} jobs) would work?

 (You haven't [yet] changed that, but we should ''always'' use {{{$MAKE}}}
 instead of {{{make}}}, since the user might have set it to something else,
 not limited to e.g. {{{"make -j"}}}. As noted above, in case parallel
 build/check doesn't work, we should use {{{$MAKE -j1 ...}}}.)
