Or, maybe we will find, as I did, that adding the old package still did
not help nmh find libiconv.so;  It's not in the library runpath.  Maybe
a more likely story is that nmh depends on libiconv.so from pkgsrc itself,
but that dependency just did not get recorded somehow.  The workaround for
me was to manually "pkgin install libiconv" from the IPP pkgsrc repository.
