Log message:
Update to 1.8.
Changes since 1.7:
* The iconv program has new options -l, -c, -s.
* The iconv program is internationalized.
* Added C99 converter.
* Added KOI8-T converter.
* New configuration option --enable-extra-encodings that enables a bunch of
  additional encodings; see the README for details.
* Updated the ISO-8859-16 converter.
* Upgraded BIG5-HKSCS, EUC-TW, ISO-2022-CN, ISO-2022-CN-EXT converters to
  Unicode 3.2.
* Upgraded EUC-KR, CP949, JOHAB converters to include the Euro sign.
* Changed the ARMSCII-8 converter.
* Extended the EUC-JP encoder so that YEN SIGN characters don't cause failures
  in Shift_JIS to EUC-JP conversion.
* The JAVA converter now handles characters outside the Unicode BMP correctly.
* Fixed a bug in the CP1255, CP1258, TCVN decoders: The base characters of
  combining characters could be dropped at the end of the conversion buffer.
* Fixed a bug in the transliteration that could lead to excessive memory
  allocations in libintl when transliteration was needed.
* Portability to BSD/OS and SCO 3.2.5.

Log message:
Create new variables INCOMPAT_ZLIB, INCOMPAT_BZIP2, INCOMPAT_READLINE,
INCOMPAT_GETTEXT that are analogous to INCOMPAT_ICONV and contain lists of
shell wildcards intended to match against ${MACHINE_PLATFORM}.  These
variables are used to note those platforms that have the named packages in
the base system but are incompatible in some way from the pkgsrc version
of the same package.  Change INCOMPAT_CURSES to have the same sematics as
above.  These variables allow much greater precision in specifying which
platforms have broken (for the purposes of pkgsrc) versions of software in
the base system that must be ignored.

The buildlink.mk files for these packages define private _INCOMPAT_*
versions of these variables, and they contain the default lists of
platforms that are known to have incompatible software bits.

This addresses pkg/17775 submitted by Julien T. Letessier
<julien.letessier at sun dot com>.

Log message:
Allow system libiconv to be used if it's provided.  If USE_GNU_ICONV is
defined, then we always use the pkgsrc libiconv.  INCOMPAT_ICONV can be
appended to with machine platform style entries, e.g. NetBSD-*-*, to note
when a system libiconv can't be used.  We currently default to needing
pkgsrc libiconv on NetBSD only.  This should fix pkg/17500.

Log message:
update MASTER_SITES to use MASTER_SITE_GNU.

Log message:
Add some more charsets to the alias file (see previous revision).
Fixes e.g. the second gtk2 demo in the gtk2 tutorial on the web.
Patch from libiconv CVS via Owen Tayler.

Bump to 1.7nb2, and depend on it in buildlink.mk.

Log message:
Fix charset.alias file, the same as it is in the current glib2 distribution
and as it will be in the next release of libiconv.
This should fix the pango build failures on -current.
Tracked down by Owen Taylor.

Bump version to 1.7nb1, and bump buildlink dependency, too.

Log message:
add test target to run self-tests (assists verification on various platforms)
