Hurrah!

My attempt to build 7.0 on Cygwin failed because _libiconv_open and
_libiconv_close weren't found when trying to build libq.la.  I have
libiconv installed under Cygwin, so patching around this is probably a
matter of inserting a strategic "-liconv" into the Makefile somewhere.
It's already mentioned in the defines for LIBICONV, LTLIBICONV, and
XML_LIBS; adding it to LIBS and LDFLAGS didn't help any.

I presume the fix is simple, though.  Can anyone help?
