[Python-Dev] 2.3a2 problem: iconv module raising RuntimeError

[Neal Norwitz]

There are already 2 bug reports with the build failing because the
iconv module raises a RuntimeError.  A patch to setup.py is below.
The patch corrects the problem, but should anything else be done?  

The problem is that iconv builds ok, but the iconv_open fails so 
the module initialization failed, IIRC.
