Because libiconv is an EXPERIMENTAL port of libiconv, using EXPERIMENTAL 
versions of build tools.  It is NOT an official port.  I did NOT use the 
same care that I ordinarily apply when OFFICIALLY porting a package.  It 
was just a TEST!

I will NOT respond to this thread again.  And I'm tempted to remove the 
damn thing from my website.
