Is it the standard practice to have iconv in /usr/local on OpenBSD, or is it just your particular setup? If the former that's fine, but if the latter, I am afraid that this change does not belong to the PLATFOR_DEFINES of the Makefile.

I had to work this exact issue around on a borrowed Solaris box today (eh, yesterday), and near the proposed update branch head there is a commit to let you specify where to find iconv stuff from the command line of the make (or gmake). The box had some home compiled stuff in unusual places, so the site specific things are made configurable via make command line, without hardcoding particular value in the Makefile.

In either case, thanks for the patch, and please let me know about the /usr/local vs iconv issue. If the answer is "yes iconv is in /usr/local everywhere on a vanilla OpenBSD box", then I'll queue this patch on top of my today's Solaris portability patch.
