ghc-7.0.2 on macports wanted

[Christian Maeder]

Why does the base package depend on iconv only on macs? iconv is not
needed under linux or solaris (unless you install haskeline, which is
not in the platform.

Cheers Christian

omitting iconv results in:

Undefined symbols:
  "_locale_charset", referenced from:
      _localeEncoding in libHSbase-4.3.1.0.a(PrelIOUtils.o)
