[New-bugs-announce] [issue17226] libintl should also check for libiconv

[Alan Hourihane]

New submission from Alan Hourihane:

The configure.ac script detects libintl but can depend on libiconv.

I added this to force it and to demonstrate, but I think this is not 100% correct and should be massaged into the libintl tests.
