Sigh.  Ian, when you're around can you ping me on IRC and we'll see if 
we can get this fixed.  Manuel - in the meantime you might want to back 
out my last patch to libraries/base.

Apparently everyone's iconv is different.  You'd think that "UTF32LE" 
would be a universal encoding name, but no.  I just hope I don't have to 
write a ton of autoconf goop to make this work.

Cheers,
