[GRASS-dev] iconv a required dependency for using Freetype?

As mentioned in an earlier e-mail, I thought I'd try and see if I can get
Freetype font support working on native Windows. Came across the error
message below in lib/driver. As far as I can see it is because I don't
have iconv installed, but the section of the source is only
conditionalised on HAVE_FT2BUILD_H. I'm wondering if the bits that
reference convert_str (which presumably does translation) could safely be
conditionalised on HAVE_ICONV_H, or does anybody know if the
interdependency between Freetype and iconv goes deeper than that?
