I can't imagine anything that 'libiconv' does that
would not work just fine with a Microsoft compile.
As mentioned in another post, if necessary I'll
just hack a build for it.

Definitely do not want any CYGWIN or MINGW
dependencies in the executables.

README.woe32 in the current libiconv sources is pretty clear about this,
"Building requires the mingw or cygwin development environment (includes
gcc). MS Visual C/C++ with "nmake" is no longer supported." There are
various ways to build the library with MingW and then link it with MSVC
into whatever you need it for.

MinGW these days creates executables that depend on some threading DLL
if you need threading at least, that might be a problem.
