A few more notes:

- On some systems, there may not be an separate libiconv library 
installed, but instead the iconv*() functions are provided by glibc. I 
don't know if that's the case with RHEL 5.3 or not.

- If you downloaded a mapserv binary that was compiled on another system 
then it may be compiled with a different libiconv than the one you have 
on your server, and in this case the info returned by "iconv -l" may not 
be a good indication of the encodings supported by your copy of MapServer.
