     Don't try to detect iconv or libcharset if we are on Windows

     We don't use iconv or libcharset on Windows, but if configure finds
     them then it can cause problems. So we don't even try looking if
     we are on Windows.

     See http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/cvs-
 ghc/2011-September/065980.html

     Patch from Bill Tutt.
