Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [comment:10 kencu]:
 > 2. macports might move libiconv into a sequestered location where it is
 not found opportunistically by 800 ports. This would solve all libiconv
 problems on macports forever, but require some work to 800 ports if using
 the new version was preferred over the system version.

 I don't feel that there is any reason why a standard library like
 libiconv, where we do indeed want all ports that use libiconv to use the
 MacPorts one, should be moved to a nonstandard location which would
 require extra effort in all of the ports that use it to continue to use
 it.
