probably, the DLL is "in use". What I do is a
'make install DESTDIR=...'
and install iconv into a tmp directory. From there I can (a) close all
cygwin apps and manually copy the files to the right places, or more
typically (b) create a setup-compatible installation tarball and then
use setup.exe to install it (setup handles scheduling of
finish-install-after-reboot, etc.)
Aint MSWindows grand?

Ah, the gentle nudge...
Any updates will have to wait until I'm not working 80+ hours a week.
Which means late May, it seems.
