Actually, I'm not so sure anymore. I think I prefer to drop libiconv.so from the system and switch that back to a static library (internal only, it would not be copied onto the image). The only need haiku itself has for libiconv (AFAICS) is libtextencoding.so. The thing is that the locale kit is most probably pulling ICU into the system anyway and I suppose it doesn't make sense to let the system provide both conversion libraries. That's why I prefer pushing libiconv completely out into the optional package (including iconv.h, which haiku itself would no longer provide). What do you think? cheers, Oliver
