>Description:
Ok, this bothered me for quite some time now.
When I install abiword using a Makefile.common > 1.3 I can't use LANG=de_DE anymore (I simply have no menu entries).

The following code was removed in revision 1.4 of Makefile.common:

.include "../../mk/bsd.prefs.mk"
.if ${OPSYS} != "Linux" # iconv is not needed for Linux; it is included in glibc
USE_BUILTIN.iconv=      no # Make sure we get libiconv dependency.
.endif

With this piece of code LANG=de_DE works as expected.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Well, the "fix" (for my situation) would be to use the iconv check from revision 1.3 of Makefile.common, but there was a discussion (which I didn't follow) about iconv and pkgsrc/NetBSD, so I guess there must have been a reason for removing the iconv check.
