Re: [xml] can't figure out how to build native Windows 'iconv'

[David Lawless <david_lawless flumedata com>]

No thanks Patrick.  If necessary I'll write a 'nmake'
or slap together a VS project.  Just seems strange
that the GNU 'iconv' release doesn't include one of
these or support for building with CL in their CYGWIN
make files.  

Igor Zlatkovic appears to have it figured out for
his binaries found at 

   http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html

bug I couldn't find instructions or build files there.

Possibly Lemm Thomas can post the project files
he created back in July someplace.  I'd use them.
