I use it partly for additional charsets, but mostly because libparserutils exhibits some strange crashes when used with newlib.library's internal iconv.  It's something I've been unable to make a reproduceable test case for, even piping the same data back through lpu using a test executable won't crash it.  Whether the bug is in NetSurf, lpu or newlib.library is a mystery, but no such problems when lpu is built against libiconv instead.

Do you need support for additional charsets, or why do you use an iconv library instead of the iconv functions in newlib.library?

I have a .so version of 1.13.1 and a static newlib of 1.12 here. 
I will get around to uploading them one day.
