... and the verdict is in. Building src w/o iconv, then re-installing
converters/libiconv and rebuilding the ports fixes at least
newsbeuter, I'll now let multimedia/xbmc (and requirements) rebuild
over night and then prepare a patch to allow -CURRENT + libiconv for
those people that like a working system.

I'm also looping re@ in, as they might want to hear about showstoppers
for the 10.0 release.
