Hello,

I'm compiling freetds-0.82.1.dev.20081111 on Solaris 10 x86.  I had been
successfully using "--with-libiconv-prefix" with v0.64; however, with
v0.82 configure failed to detect my installation of GNU libiconv.  I
eventually realised that freetds-0.82.1.dev.20081111 doesn't ship with
config.rpath.  I generated config.rpath myself and made some progress
until:

I used this fix for fisql:

I again made more progress until freebcp:

Notice tsql includes LIBICONV whereas freebcp does not.  This problem
extends to bsqldb, defncopy, and many others.  I decided to stop mucking
with individual Makefiles and I now forcibly link GNU iconv via LDFLAGS.
Perhaps a better / more generic fix would be appropriate?
