Re: iconv.dll should be libiconv.dll??

No; the import library contains the name of the DLL, you can't just
rename the DLL and still link with an import library that refers to
the original name, it won't work. (But the error will occur at run
time.)

Hmm, it thinks it is linking an exe here. Some confusion.

I'm glad that you still are trying... It seems I have been very lucky
when I have managed to get the auto*/libtool stuff working mostly as
intended on Win32...
