===========================================================

Build instructions:
  unpack libiconv-1.13.1-X-src.tar.bz2
    if you use setup to install this src package, it will be
	 unpacked under /usr/src automatically
  cd /usr/src
  cygport ./libiconv-1.13.1-X.cygport all

This will create:
  /usr/src/libiconv-1.13.1-X.tar.bz2
  /usr/src/libiconv2-1.13.1-X.tar.bz2
  /usr/src/libcharset1-1.13.1-X.tar.bz2
  /usr/src/libiconv-1.13.1-X-src.tar.bz2

Or use 'cygport ./libiconv-1.13.1-X.cygport prep' to get a patched
source directory

To find out the files included in the binary distribution, you can
use "cygcheck -l libiconv libiconv2 libcharset1", or browse the 
listing for the appropriate version at <http://cygwin.com/packages/>.

Port Notes:
----------  libiconv-1.13.1-2 -- 2011 Jan 27 -----------
* Rebuild against newer cygwin
* Correct issue related to wchar_t support (Corinna Vinschen)
* Use modern (linux-like) idioms in relocation code (Corinna Vinschen)

----------  libiconv-1.13.1-1 -- 2009 Dec 23 -----------
* Update to latest release
* Force use of POSIX-compliant signature for iconv()
  (see http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2009-12/msg00680.html and thread)

----------  libiconv-1.13-10 -- 2009 May 30 -----------
* Update to latest release

----------  libiconv-1.12-10 -- 31 Dec 2008 -----------
* Fork for 1.7.0 development
* Uses stock cygport-0.9.2

----------  libiconv-1.12-1 -- 08 Nov 2008 -----------
* Update to latest release
* Removed all references to 'relocatable' from .cygport
  so that it can be used with stock cygport-0.4.2.

----------  libiconv-1.11-1 -- 18 Oct 2006 -----------
* Update to latest release
* switch to cygport build framework

----------  libiconv-1.9.2-2 -- 10Nov2005 -----------
* Routine update to match gettext release, and eliminate
  charset.alias conflict with that package.

----- 1.9.2-1 -----
Update to new release -- now depends on gettext-0.14.1, which
bumped the libintl DLL number.

----- 1.9.1-3 -----
Cygwin-1.5.2 FLAG DAY release

----- 1.9.1-2 -----
Cygwin-1.5.1 FLAG DAY release
Documentation moved to /usr/share/*

----- 1.9.1-1 -----
Update to newest release.

This is NOT built using --enable-relocatable, because Bruno sez:
  "I hope that people will learn when to use --enable-relocatable
   by themselves. For example, I don't think a Linux distributor 
   should use --enable-relocatable for anything installed in 
   /usr - it would only be bloat that makes the system slower."
  http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2003-04/msg00014.html
Since I am the defacto "Linux distributor" for libiconv-on-cygwin,
and the package is installed into /usr, I figure this admonishment
applies here.  So, no --enable-relocatable.

----- version 1.8-1 -----
Initial release.  Built against an iconv-less gettext.
