Description Ross Burton 2007-04-10 21:10:35 UTC 
The iconv check in configure.in doesn't explicitly return a value, and relies on luck to work.

This is the check:

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	iconv_t cd;
	cd = iconv_open ("UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1");
}

I believe the test is meant to be that iconv_open returns a valid iconv_t.  Attaching a patch.

I should mention that this was discovered as it was causing configure to fail for Eric Anholt, who I believe was running FreeBSD.
