Just downloaded the 2.0.0-rc2 "plain" Win32 package
(freeciv-2.0.0-rc2-win32.zip), and neither civclient.exe nor
civserver.exe will run:

  Error Starting Program

  [!]  A required .DLL file, ICONV.DLL, was not found.

                    [   OK   ]

Previous packages such as 2.0.0-rc1 used to run (and still do) fine on
this system, and do not appear to include a file called ICONV.DLL.

The 2.0.0-rc2 ZIP file does contain a "libiconv-2.dll". If I rename this
to ICONV.DLL, both client and server appear to run (although I haven't
tried playing a game with them).

2.0.0-rc1 also included a "libiconv-2.dll", and this appears to be where
that version of the client expects to find it.
