Yes, sorry about that, I wanted to act quickly before people with glibc builds get the
change, build libiconv and require a build from scratch.

The bottom line:

*NEVER* DEPEND on libiconv directly, but on virtual/libiconv, otherwise you break all
glibc based builds out there

The situation is tricky since uclibc (and maybe newlib) need libiconv, but our glibc build
can use the internal iconv from libc6.so. That's why we have virtual/libiconv which does
the right thing automagically.

regards,

Koen
