Ditto. And we might also want to consider redistributing iconv from our site, and teach APR how to use it if available. Considering that iconv is already available on some platforms (didn't somebody say recent glibc?), it makes some sense to not ship it as part of APR. Or, in other words, since APR already needs to know how to find it if available, then we can simply say "that feature is enabled if you also install <that> package, available form apache.org/dist/".
