Looking around, I don't see libiconv in "/lib" or "/mingw/lib".

It's not even there.

So... I got the idea to download the binary from the MinGW site and put it
in "/mingw/lib".

So I downloaded "libiconv-1.9.2-mingwPORT.tar.bz2" from the MinGW site.

Unfortunately, the "libiconv-1.9.2-mingwPORT.tar.bz2" file does NOT contain
the binary!!!!  (Even though it is suppose to.)  Guess someone forgot to put
it in the package.

:-(

Guess I'll have compile from source.

Should I be using a patched source?  Is there a special place I should get
the source from?
