Huh?  iconv is too part of cygwin:

$ cygcheck -p iconv\\.exe
Found 3 matches for iconv\.exe
libiconv/libiconv-1.13.1-1	GNU character set conversion library and 
utilities
libiconv/libiconv-1.13.1-2	GNU character set conversion library and 
utilities
libiconv/libiconv-1.14-1	GNU character set conversion library and utilities

Maybe you just need to rerun setup.exe and install the libiconv package, 
if you don't already have it present on your machine.
