I just got a message from a user using my build pointing out this:

---
apr-iconv is unnecessary for a win32 subversion since 1.5.0
See this thread:http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=889291

I guess he's right.
Reading on Wikipedia about ISO 8859-3 it's only used for Meltese and Esperanto, two quite small languages.
Maybe changing the used code page in the test suite to some more widely used code page, like ISO 8859-1 or -15 will make the problem much smaller.
