Yes, at the present time if a system iconv is found it is used. I will fix the --with-iconv-library option (the most simple solution). 0r we can add an --enable-iconv-library option. I do not know what is the good default. But it seems logic to use the system iconv if found, IMHO we cannot assume that the "users" have a consistent installation (nowdays most unix system has no system administrator). Some other advice?
