Building with libiconv

[Brian Stafford <brian stafford uklinux net>]

When building with libiconv things are a pain.

If libiconv is installed in /usr/local the supplied iconv.h overrides the
one with glibc.  This causes problems building some apps, e.g. GCC 3.0.
OTOH if libiconv is installed elsewhere balsa fails to build.

The following patch to configure.in fixes this
