Comment:

 This rename is transparent for you if you use the headers matching the
 library. The headers installed by the MacPorts `libiconv` port contain
 `#define iconv libiconv`. If this doesn't work for you out of the box,
 your header include path is probably wrong.

 This isn't a change introduced by MacPorts. We package libiconv with the
 default options from upstream. It seems Apple either uses a different
 implementation or defines the `LIBICONV_PLUG` preprocessor constant while
 building libiconv.

 Please don't set the milestone field when reporting bugs against ports.
 Also, Cc the maintainer of the port(s), if any.
