I agree with this patch, but I've also found that I can hack in some
block comments and get freetype support both compiled and working for
me without iconv.  I know that my method is an unacceptable hack,
probably dependant on my characterset.  But if it's possible to have
freetype without iconv and not break everything, that would be great.
