[Haskell-cafe] Problems building lambdabot on osx

[Jack Henahan]

I didn't have any trouble building lambdabot when linking to readline built through Homebrew. Currently using Lion, Xcode 4.1, and GHC 7.0.4.

I think you'll need to temporarily deactivate MacPorts' iconv instead of using --extra-lib-dirs.
