the traces of the first build by running "make distclean".
-This library can be built and installed in two variants:
+This library installs:

+ - a header file '<iconv.h>'.
- - The library mode. This works on all systems, and uses a library
- `libiconv.so' and a header file `<iconv.h>'. (Both are installed
- through "make install".)
+To use it, simply #include <iconv.h> and use the functions.

+To use it in an autoconfiguring package:
+ - If you don't use automake, append m4/iconv.m4 to your aclocal.m4

+ - If you do use automake, add m4/iconv.m4 to your m4 macro repository.
+ - Add to the link command line of libraries and executables that use
+ the functions the placeholder @LIBICONV@ (or, if using libtool for
+ the link, @LTLIBICONV@). If you use automake, the right place for

- It installs a library `preloadable_libiconv.so'. This library can be used
- with LD_PRELOAD, to override the iconv* functions present in the C library.
-
- On GNU/Linux and Solaris:
- $ export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so
-
- On OSF/1:
- $ export _RLD_LIST=/usr/local/lib/preloadable_libiconv.so:DEFAULT
-
- A program's source need not be modified, the program need not even be
- recompiled. Just set the LD_PRELOAD environment variable, that's it!
