[xml] Iconv and zlib

[Martijn Ras <ras holmes nl>]

Heya Folks,

My package uses iconv and zlib so it requires the GnuWin32 packages to 
be installed. Now that i also ported the bits that use libxml i need to 
instal both iconv and zlib twice ...

I just downloaded the sources and build them against the GnuWin32 
pakages. The only changes i needed to make to account for the different 
filenames used in the standard packages were in the Makefile in 
libxml2-2.6.8\win32 (for a MSVC build that is):

@@ -66,10 +66,10 @@
 LIBS = $(LIBS) wsock32.lib
 !endif
 !if "$(WITH_ICONV)" == "1"
-LIBS = $(LIBS) iconv.lib
+LIBS = $(LIBS) libiconv.lib
 !endif
 !if "$(WITH_ZLIB)" == "1"
-LIBS = $(LIBS) zlib.lib
+LIBS = $(LIBS) libz.lib
 !endif
 !if "$(WITH_THREADS)" == "posix"
 LIBS = $(LIBS) pthreadVC.lib

Is there a special reason to distribute custom iconv and zlib builds 
with the libxml package for windows? If not, could the package be 
changed to use the standard iconv and zlib packages from GnuWin32 instead?

Mazzel,

Martijn.
