Be patient. With the pending changes to autoconf(done), automake(once
1.5 comes out), binutils(done except for bugfixes), cygwin(in snapshots
now), and libtool(robert-collins fork)
<deep breath>
libiconv builds more-or-less OOB. As a dll, no less. See
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/robert-collins/
So, wait for the above-mentioned improvements to percolate thru the
pipeline, and for the no-new-packages ban to be lifted, and libiconv can
be made official. That is, if somebody other than me is willing to
maintain it.
