mingw-gcc 4.6.2, with libiconv-1.13.1-1-mingw32-dev.tar.lzma package
providing iconv.h

Not interested.
This is not the first time i see this, so there's nothing interesting
in fixing this. Adding an #ifdef to cast the pointer as "const char
**" on W32 (or when using GNU libiconv) would fix the problem.
In fact, [1] says that it IS const, so this is a GNU libiconv problem,
not a MinGW problem.
