build fail on 10.5 with system iconv.h

Building from svn on Mac OS X 10.5 will fail with an error regarding iconv:
Undefined symbols:

this is due to an incompatibility with system supplied iconv.h under /usr/include
I successfully build mplayer overwriting /usr/include/iconv.h with the version coming with fink (or MacPorts will be the same) from /sw/include/iconv.h

I suggest to made available a configure option --with-iconv which can be used to supply an alternate path for iconv package.

There is --with-extraincdir and --with-extralibdir for this.
