Tests that fail due to iconv()

[Avis, Ed]

When running 'make check' for gettext-0.12.1 (on SunOS 5.8
Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW), I saw some failures and warnings like
the following:

msgcat: mcat-test1.in1: warning: Charset "ISO-8859-1" is not supported. msgcat 
relies on iconv(),
                                 and iconv() does not support "ISO-8859-1".
                                 Installing GNU libiconv and then reinstalling 
GNU gettext
                                 would fix this problem.
                                 Continuing anyway.
msgcat: mcat-test1.in2: warning: Charset "ISO-8859-1" is not supported. msgcat 
relies on iconv(),
                                 and iconv() does not support "ISO-8859-1".
                                 Installing GNU libiconv and then reinstalling 
GNU gettext
                                 would fix this problem.
                                 Continuing anyway.
PASS: msgcat-1
msgcat: mcat-test2.in1: warning: Charset "ISO-8859-1" is not supported. msgcat 
relies on iconv(),
msgcat: mcat-test2.in2: warning: Charset "UTF-8" is not supported. msgcat 
relies on iconv(),
msgcat: Cannot convert from "ISO-8859-1" to "UTF-8". msgcat relies on iconv(), 
and iconv() does not support this conversion.
FAIL: msgcat-2

Surely if a particular iconv() feature needed, the configure script should
check for this?  Then either the user can be prompted to install GNU
libiconv, or at least certain tests can be 'skipped on this platform'
rather than failed.
