Hi all,
I need an advice or two regarding the problem I met.

I am preparing a submission of new port, which depends on <iconv.h>: 
`databases/mariadb-connector-c`.
Everything went okay, until Poudriere test in 9.3-RELEASE jail reported build 
failure. Apparently <iconv.h> has been added to base system since 10.0-RELEASE.

The question is: this limiting OS version for this port, is this a discouraged 
idea? The method I am thinking is to display error if OS version is less than 
10.x, upon checking OSVERSION makevar in Makefile. But this will discriminate 
against fellow 9.x users.
I have another solution of adding `converters/iconv` (libiconv.so) as this 
port's library dependency. However, I am worried that doing this might cause 
problem on 10.x versions.

Can someone tell me what to do regarding this <iconv.h> on 9.x?
