What version of libcdio and vcdimager are used? The best one to use
especially for format detection problems happens to be what is
currently in CVS.

I see at http://videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html that both the
vcdimager and the libcdio sources are a bit out of date. Current
tarballs can be found at http://www.gnu.org/software/{vcdimager,libcdio}

Actually, I don't believe libcdio requires libiconv; libcdio uses
libiconv for Joliet support of ISO 9660 filesytems, which shouldn't be
used for either VCD's or CD-DAs. So I'm assuming libcdio auto-detected
libiconv but somehow it's not getting into pkg-config, even though
libcdio's libiso9660.pc.in *does* have @LIBICONV@, and libcdio's
configure.am has AM_ICONV.

Interesting that you are tired of figuring out how to patch
libcdio. (I'll wager you've not spent nearly as much time as I have on
libcdio as I have in trying to get vlc to work with CDDA or VCD.) But
I too am tired of figuring out how to get pkg-config, libtool and
autoconf to work properly! I've been told by other OSX folks who
probably have spent more time on libcdio -- or at least have been more
helpful as far as libcdio is concerneed -- that there is what looks
like one pkg-config and/or libtool bug for at least OSX that's been
reported.

But I wonder if this dirty patch won't break for those OSX folks who
don't have iconv installed. ViewCVS is currently unavailable so I
can't look at the actually patch.
