The GNU libiconv package provides an iconv() implementation, for use on systems which don't have one, or whose implementation cannot convert from/to Unicode.
These should be upgraded together with the gettext packages. This release is built against the cygwin-1.5.x kernel; it will not work with 1.3.22. libiconv-1.9.1-3 libiconv2-1.9.1-3 libcharset1-1.9.1-3 gettext-0.12.1-3 gettext-devel-0.12.1-3 libintl2-0.12.1-3 libgettextpo0-0.12.1-3 (*) (*) new library package -- gettext-devel now depends on it.
