probably, the DLL is "in use".  What I do is a
    'make install DESTDIR=...'
and install iconv into a tmp directory.  From there I can (a) close all 
cygwin apps and manually copy the files to the right places, or more 
typically (b) create a setup-compatible installation tarball and then 
use setup.exe to install it (setup handles scheduling of 
finish-install-after-reboot, etc.)

Aint MSWindows grand?

Ah, the gentle nudge...

Any updates will have to wait until I'm not working 80+ hours a week. 
Which means late May, it seems.
