Build problem with libiconv

[Ken Cross]

Samba-folk:

When building SAMBA_3_0 on NetBSD (and I think any OS except Linux,
Solaris, or OSF) with iconv support, configure can't figure out that
iconv is really present.  It's because in <iconv.h>, it defines:

 #ifndef LIBICONV_PLUG
 #define iconv_open libiconv_open
 #endif

where LIBICONV_PLUG is defined on OS's with plug libraries (Linux,
Solaris, or OSF).  What I've done locally to fix it is:

Index: configure.in

However, I think this'll break OS's with plug libraries (Linux, Solaris,
or OSF).  What configure should really do is try one (iconv_open) then
the other (libiconv_open).  (I'm not sure what's involved in that or I'd
have done it.)
