Completed

Looks like everything besides the error worked just fine.  The log just says
"Skipped: libiconv-2.dll" in reference to the error.  In fact, I just
thought to open up the installer (thanks to 7-Zip), and I compared the 2
libiconv-2.dll files - the one in the PostgreSQL bin folder and the one in
the PostGIS bin folder.  The PostgreSQL file is larger (946kb vs 873kb) and
has a more recent last modified time (1/6/09 vs 12/16/08).  I'm guessing
that I want the newer copy anyway, so perhaps skipping over that file isn't
such a bad thing.  Why does PostGIS include that file in the first place if
it's included with PostgreSQL?
