The only thing I would add into your list is making iconv build system more /usr/src-friendly, so that it is easier to import it into base system when the time comes. Particularly this includes replacing all perl scripts with awk ones and making build systmem more sane. If my memory serves some 1.5 years ago Boris Popov did some initial work on this, so you might contact him for details. Please keep us informed about the progress of your work.
