done.  I did a cvs update and then autogen'ed from scratch.  BTW, I use
the --disable-nls option, if it matters.

yes
system      SUNWuiu8                         Iconv modules for UTF-8 Locale

dev-null:{bretta}$ cat config.h | grep -i iconv
/* Define if you have the iconv() function. */
#define HAVE_ICONV 1
/* Define as const if the declaration of iconv() needs const. */
#define ICONV_CONST const

dev-null:{bretta}$ echo $LANG
C

I did a "make install" which copies all the current files over to
/usr/local (on top of the old ones).  It's possible I have a ruleset
laying around, but I doubt it.  I will clean out everything freeciv
related under /usr/local and rebuild.
