libiconv -- not required on solaris



Hi all, 
libiconv doesn't exist on solaris - the iconv_open function is in libc.
Accordingly
I needed to edit the configure script to ignore the test:

#LIBS="-liconv	$LIBS"
# FOR SOLARIS, iconv_open is in libc -- James.McPherson@Sun.COM
LIBS=$LIBS

(around line 5921).

How do I go about fixing the configure or configure.in scripts to ignore
the
test for solaris? Alternatively, could configure check libc first and if it
fails then check for libiconv?

thanks,
James C. McPherson
