I've been using these libraries for a while without problems.

Can we split the iconv related exports from php_libxml.def to
php_iconv.def. This will make it possible to build with iconv, but without
libxml.

Won't this become a chicken-and-worm situation?  The reason the iconv
exports were put there in the first place was so that the libxml build could
rely with confidence on there being built-in support for libxml's own
built-in iconv functions through PHP, rather than having to lean on an
external iconv.dll at runtime..
