ahh .. I was using the ones that you did previous distribute.

umm .. no, not in your old one, or the new one.
(libiconv-1.7-w32.bin.zip)
I'm downloading the source now, should be easy enough to rename to
libiconv
and try it...

cool.  Yeah, part of my troubles is I'm not up on the ways of win32,
nor the whole automake process.  I'm used to regular make files,
and writing code... :-)

yep, but there are already too many variables.  I'm just trying to
settle
things down as much as possible, and try to get to the point I really
want.
(to be able to make source code changes).  I have been making some

but so far only to check out what is going wrong.  At the moment
plug_in_path is NULL.
