Our INSTALL file says which. 2.0.48 should be fine, 2.0.49 is better,
anything later should work.

They have to be in the path. Copying them around defeats the purpose of
shared libraries.
APR_ICONV_PATH should point to the apache iconv directory, of course.

Here's what we'll do: I'll (finally) create a packaging script that will
create the right directory tree with all libs, dlls, etc. -- similar to
the package I make for the 1.0.x builds. The installer can use that tree
and not worry about where to find the binaries.
