OK, maybe you're partially right. I think glibc includes iconv in the
main libc, so even though -liconv isn't specified, the iconv functions
are still available to font_load_ft.c. Obviously on non-glibc systems
this is a problem. Maybe I want to leave iconv enabled and just
--disable-i18n to get rid of the buggy locale stuff.

So, should ft support depend on iconv...?
