I disagree with the #ifndef WIN32_NATIVE part.  Win32 will have just as 
much trouble with character conversion as the rest of us, right?  And 
they should be able to get binary versions of iconv anyway, rather than 
be forced to compile from source.

For win32 users, this message may be more useful to packagers.  When you 
run the compiled product, you'll see the warning and know that you need 
to link against iconv.
