I'm thinking that I want to modify libraries/base/configure.ac to implement this pseudo-code:
<Psedo code: if $WINDOWS <> "YES" or --with-iconv-libraries was specified then>: FP_SEARCH_LIBS_PROTO(iconv, <...>) <else skip iconv checking with message> That way the GHC binary on Windows doesn't grow a dependency on the mingw iconv goo that would require followup changes in the rest of the GHC source. I have no desire to add mingw iconv support to GHC. The above approach wouldn't necessarily need the --with-iconv-libraries alternative, but it seems like the autoconfy like thing to do. Thoughts? I can try to come up with something, but my sh/autoconf foo is very very low. I'd be glad to test a change if somebody could translate my pseudo code for me that'd be awesome. I'm not quite sure how to check the --with-iconv-libraries bit via autoconf just yet.
