Testing whether or not the build platform has a working iconv

So,
I have some changes that allow configure to correctly find the include
file and library for iconv.
However, I notice that the test to see if we have a working iconv, there
are two problems:
1. It assumes that iconv uses the standard include files and library
names.
2. It tests for ASCII to UCS-2LE as a conversion type, which Samba handles
internally, and iconv-2.0_3 on FreeBSD and the version of iconv on
Slowaris does not seem to handle these. A better test would be for CP850
to UCS-2LE, I think.
Any observations?
Regards
