Re: [PATCH] Mention libiconv as a requirement for git-am

["Nguyen Thai Ngoc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

I'm sorry I judged by reading Makefile without actually testing your
installation, so I might be wrong. By default Makefile set
NO_ICONV=YesPlease on MinGW so it won't use libiconv even if it
exists. You need to unset NO_ICONV and set NEEDS_LIBICONV in
config.mak in order to enable it.

I'm going to test it tomorrow.
