Err, umm, oh.  Completely misleading - what I find in my binaries is  
that GDAL links /usr/local/pgsql/lib/libpq.dylib (which links /usr/lib/ 
libiconv).  I don't know how I keep missing this in my post-processing  
for GDAL, or why nobody reported a problem since I released that build  
in June.  And it's just the Leopard build (maybe [mostly] everyone  
using Leopard installs my Postgres?).

I'll post an update soon.  Hold off installing Postgres, if you were  
thinking about it, so I can make sure that's really the problem.
