Windows build problems

[B. Scott Michel]

Bill:

It might also be the case that you're seeing the same issue as ghci not finding the stdc++ library. The solution may be as simple as hacking the Makefile is nail a specific PATH to where iconv.dll is located. But, I'm not in front of a development box, so I can't be of much help.

Yep. This is most likely the problem. -liconv wasn't found during
Simon's 8/23 ghc-HEAD build on Windows:
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghcBuilder/builders/simonmar-win32-head/377/8.html

cabal configure of libraries\base found a working -liconv
from one of:
/bin/libiconv-2.dll
/msys/1.0/bin/msys-libiconv-2.dll
/lib/libiconv.a
/lib/libiconv.dll.a
/lib/libiconv.la

The in tree mingw is picking up /lib/libiconv.a but apparently
libraries\base\configure doesn't require it to be a shared library.

Fyi,
Bill
