converters/iconv

Those are just two implementations of a common library, and
converters/iconv installs libiconv.so.0 when your newly imported
libiconv does libiconv.so.2. Thus it is certain that it will cause
bad things to happen if we just leave them alone with the existing
state of affairs. (It is not enough to just write a document to tell
users not to install them simultaneously, as (common) libiconv is such
a popular library which many other ports LIB_DEPENDS.)
Now, we have to take one of these options:
1. Kill one of them.
-> No way, IMO..
2. Rename one of them.
-> e.g. libiconv.so vs. libgiconv.so, iconv.h vs. giconv.h, etc.
(I'd suggest this idea)
3. Install them into different directories.
-> e.g. include vs. include/giconv, lib vs. lib/giconv, etc.
4. Any other options?
Anyway, now converters/iconv is working very well with such ports as
mail/mutt, net/gnomeicu and editor/dedit, it's worth giving non-GPL'ed
converters/iconv a try prior to the LGPL'ed one.
