Could be.  I see that the -l option wasn't added to libiconv's "iconv"
until 1.8.  So, that explains the error message.

According to ChangeLog, iconvlist was added 2002-01-13, a few months
before the 1.8 release.

1.8 was released in 2002.  That seems rather old to me; but if users
are really still using it, I suppose we ought to deal with it.

I think I have an understanding of the failure modes and I can set up
environments here to test them.  So, I think it is up to you.

I'm thinking of changing the startup code to use pexecute rather than
popen.  Does pexecute work on DJGPP?
