One more modification request that would make it easier for an OpenBSD port/packages: use shared versions of libiconv and libintl instead of statically linking them. Thanks.
I need help testing such a change. Cygwin already has some
magic going on so it is dynamically linking to both iconv
and gettext (libintl). Linux libc includes the gettext &
iconv functionality, so will never need to dynamically link.
If you have a system where you will benefit from such a
change, and you could test a tarball for me to verify that
it fixes this (at least for gettext), please inform me.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

These two lines are in ./configure.in
AM_GNU_GETTEXT(,need-ngettext)
AM_ICONV
and then these are in
./src/liflines/Makefile.am
@LIBINTL@ @LIBICONV@
AFAIK, that is the correct way to use iconv & gettext, and
the rest is all up to the iconv and gettext scripts. Do you
know any different?

Perhaps we need to add conditional use of @LTLIBINTL@.
