Norm,

Thanks for your quick reply. One more question if I may.

According to the build instructions for GNU libiconv, it has a
circular dependency against GNU gettext (on non-Linux platforms):

http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/

"On systems other than GNU/Linux, the iconv program will be
internationalized only if GNU gettext has been built and installed
before GNU libiconv. This means that the first time GNU libiconv is
installed, we have a circular dependency between the GNU libiconv and
GNU gettext packages, which can be resolved by building and installing
either:

- first libiconv, then gettext, then libiconv again,

or (on systems supporting shared libraries, excluding AIX)

- first gettext, then libiconv, then gettext again.
"

Is this gonna be doable? I'm thinking if not, we might have to include
a degraded GNU gettext.

Thanks,
Brian
