Hello,

I'm using OpenBSD 4.9 and I'm having troubles when rsync'ing data to a
GNU/Linux box. As I have Umlauts in the file names I tried to use
rsync's iconv feature to convert between different charsets. But rsync
from the OpenBSD packages doesn't support iconv at all:

$> rsync --version
rsync version 3.0.7 protocol version 30
Copyright (C) 1996-2009 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.
Web site: rsync.samba.org
Capabilities:
64-bit files, 32-bit inums, 32-bit timestamps, 64-bit long ints,
socketpairs, hardlinks, symlinks, IPv6, batchfiles, inplace,
append, no ACLs, no xattrs, *no iconv*, no symtimes

Are there any ways to get rsync with iconv support without building it
from source? And why was iconv support dropped from the rsync binary?

Thanks,
Gerald
