Actually I was waiting for you. If you refer to my tries with MingW I
usually use it to do some test, I was just trying to compile under
Fedora using static win-iconv instead of dynamic one to avoid having

I still don't know completely how AppVeyor works. If I can help with
something specific just ask. I saw your pull request but I didn't see
any following compiling build on AppVeyor so I suppose is not jet
finished.
