Re: Building with libiconv

[Pawel Salek <pawsa TheoChem kth se>]

This one is in. 

Concerning BSD issues, I am 100% to support it but I am not sure how to
check for it, would something like this work on BSD:


AC_CHECK_LIB(iconv, iconv_open, , [
	AC_CHECK_LIB(giconv, iconv_open, , [
		AC_CHECK_FUNC(iconv_open, , [
                	AC_MSG_ERROR([*** You need iconv for balsa.])
		])
	])
])

(this works on linux, without iconv). Test for linux, *with* iconv would
be appreciated as well.
