Be patient.  With the pending changes to autoconf(done), automake(once 
1.5 comes out), binutils(done except for bugfixes), cygwin(in snapshots 
now), and libtool(robert-collins fork)

<deep breath>

libiconv builds more-or-less OOB.  As a dll, no less.  See 
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/robert-collins/

So, wait for the above-mentioned improvements to percolate thru the 
pipeline, and for the no-new-packages ban to be lifted, and libiconv can 
be made official.  That is, if somebody other than me is willing to 
maintain it.
