1.5.10 build woes: libiconv

[Charles Cazabon <mutt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running a slightly-patched 1.5.x and have found a message I can crash mutt
with.  Before reporting that, I figured I'd try to reproduce it with the most
recent release first, and that's where I've hit problems.

I had to install a recent GNU libiconv to build 1.5.6 a while back, but 1.5.10
refuses to even configure:

  $ ./configure [...] with-libiconv-prefix=/usr/local
  [...]
  checking for iconv.h... yes
  checking whether iconv.h defines iconv_t... yes
  checking whether this iconv is good enough... no
  configure: error: Try using libiconv instead

This is GNU libiconv v. 1.9.1, which the GNU site still lists as the most
recent version.  It's as if the configure script is ignoring the
--with-iconv-prefix argument entirely, and is testing the older (and broken)
libiconv on the system.

Or am I doing something wrong?
