Any idea if 1) even works? I just deleted converters/libiconv and then
tried to make abiword and I get:

checking iconv.h usability... yes
checking iconv.h presence... yes
checking for iconv.h... yes
configure: error: (usable) libiconv not found
*** Error code 1

Just like I used to before I installed converters/libiconv.
