I think we could get away with claiming qt doesn't work with libiconv.  Since 
I cannot find a single Linux distribution that doesn't use glibc (and does 
support qt4.5) I think it could fly?  

In any case I would like to try isolate the problem but I cannot find any 
regression tests.  Surely Qt has some sort of regression testing.
