Thanks. This solves the problem; and I think the locale is done very
decently: it automatically chooses the English language when I `chcp
437'.
However, I am wondering it would be more user-friendly to emit a
warning when APR_ICONV_PATH is not set, or, better, guess the right
value (binpath/../iconv) when APR_ICONV_PATH is not set?
Best regards,
