Ours acquired one via search/replace, by accident. In theory, nothing knows of "iconv_version", but in order to be ABI compatible with old 10-alpha/beta snapshots, I left it there via its .symdef alias. "Magic" refers to the old magic number that it had. Not that it does anything special. -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com; KI6FJV
