I think I found the road to *preventing* linking with libiconv.  It's
something Bill asked about a few weeks back.  

 - Macro: AC_ARG_WITH (PACKAGE, HELP-STRING, [ACTION-IF-GIVEN],
          [ACTION-IF-NOT-GIVEN])

Notionally, our configure.in would become something like:

AC_ARG_WITH ( libiconv, use iconv library, [ AM_ICONV ] )

Once I work out the actual syntax, you could 

        ./configure --without-libiconv

and pick up the built-in replacement instead.
