I installed libiconv-1.7 and used the ./configure --with-iconv-prefix=/usr/local option
This got me past the first few compiles in lib/ that were part of the original problem;
but then it failed a few modules later.

I put this declaration at the beginning of lib/charconv.h There appear to be several places
where it is needed;  and there appears to be an assumption that UNICODE_WORK_IN_PROGRESS is
defined because it is set twice in config.h

But I also needed to define unicode_iconv_t too (also by putting it in lib/charconv.h).
With these to changes (--with-iconv-prefix=) and defining both of these types, I can get it
all to compile, *but it can't link*.

The linker is looking for symbols such as unicode_strlen  unicode_strchr, etc.
So I see these are defined kind-of in lib/charconv.h, but I don't get how they
are supposed to connect to libunicode.

Is UNICODE_WORK_IN_PROGRESS supposed to be GLOBALLY DEFINED?
Or is it supposed to be Globally UNDEFINED and locally DEFINED as needed?
