 I would be grateful if someone let me know how to get the complete
 package [source code and makefiles] on windows machine and if
 possible let me know what are the changes involved to port the source
 code and makefiles to build in Linux.

The sources are at
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/bland/ , but it
really hasn't been updated since 2000.  All the FreeBSD ports depend on
GNU iconv.

 Thanks for your reply Dan, You mean, FreeBSD iconv is using GNU iconv
 library internally? I was interested in the iconv source code. Please
 let me know whether FreeBSD has its own source code for iconv.

There is no iconv at all in the base system.  Any port that requires
iconv sets the USE_ICONV Makefile variable, which will add the
converters/libiconv (GNU iconv) port as a dependency.

The link I gave above is for a BSD-licensed version of iconv, but it
never got into the base system, just the ports tree.
