So I wanted to use the 'wv' tools from http://www.wvware.com/
and downloaded the most recent 'wv2' files.

When running ./configure on wv2 I get the following ...

-----------------------
checking for iconv... no
checking for libiconv_open in -liconv... yes
checking for iconv.h... yes
checking need for const in iconv... no
checking whether the iconv installation is complete enough... no

wv2 depends on a modern iconv installation, supporting UNICODELITTLE and
UNICODEBIG. The detected iconv version doesn't support these conversions.

Please get a new libiconv from http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/
You might want to install the library to some alternative directory, in
order not to overwrite your current installation. Please use the option
--with-libiconv=DIR to specify the location.

configure: error: * * * No iconv support - unable to continue * * *

-----------------------

I figure "no big deal, I can just remake the latest libiconv ..."

Then when I download the latest libiconv-1.8 run ./configure and
then 'make' I get the following 

-----------------------
builddir="`pwd`"; cd libcharset && make all && make install-lib libdir="$builddir/lib"
includedir="$builddir/lib"

-------------------------

I am not getting far enough along for the recent png problem on cygwin to 
even be an issue.  Maybe there is something special about libiconv and cygwin 
that I am  unaware of.  Perhaps there is in general something different about 
compiling libraries for cygwin as opposed to other platforms that is NOT 
properly handled by ./configure or autoconf.
