Don't speak to quickly, Dom. :-)
Iconv actually configures that paramater via a configure.in test.
The test is
if test $cl_cv_func_iconv = yes -a -z "$cl_cv_proto_iconv_arg1"; then
ICONV_CONST=""
else
ICONV_CONST="const"
fi
I don't speak autoconf, so I don't understand it, but the upshot is that
the argument is non-const on my system. So we are faced with the issue
of dealing with this variance on realworld systems.
Yet another reason for me to keep working on that old autoconf patch.
