Agreed.  Note that I am currently working on the converters/libiconv port
(aka giconv) since it seems to be wanting to install files during the build
(bad code, no biscuit).

However, given the number of ports that depend on both iconv's, we do need
to look at doing this as a big patch, rather than piecemeal, as the change
from g->[nul] and [nul]->b takes place.

I have absolutely no time for this next week, but am more than willing to
manage the transition if this is the agreed approach.
