For iconv and hunspell one can find some CMakeLists.txt at github, not

Would it be an option to add tripped down iconv, hunspell and zlib sources
to lyx and to build them as static libraries like boost? Then the Windows
installer would only depend on ready-to-use binaries, maintained by other
projects.
If the license of those libs allows redistribution with the LyX sources,
then this would be an option IMHO if the size increase of the package would
not be too big. This would be easier to use than my suggestion, but in both
cases we would need somebody who keeps the sources up to date.

Hunspell:

libiconv:

zlib:

Latest release date: 2013-04-29

Linking these libs into a GPL application is therefore no problem.
Sources also does not change very often, less then boost.
And the size is also not that big when only the files are
used needed to build the library.
Then I start to add the libs. Before I push I send an overview
of the changes.
