Um. Of course FreeBSD didn't have glibc, but iconv() is anyway pretty standard, man page says "Conforming to UNIX98". It comes as a separate library as well.
Yeah, I noticed the same thing :) But it still has to be a concious decision, as not all platforms come with libiconv and I wasn't sure what your target audience is, and might become.
Well, target audience should be as large as possible :) But I think it'd be good enough to make iconv() required for charset-support, without iconv() it would support only charsets which don't need any conversion (ascii and "search charset foo" with "=?foo?..?=")
BTW. does SquirrelMail also require THREAD extension? It's not much more different from SORT luckily.
It looks like it's optional. As a matter of fact, so is SORT :) But both would be very nice to have, not just for SquirrelMail.
Yeah. I'll add support for both later, currently there's a bit more important things to do which you'll want fixed as well :)
