Base iconv (sort of) replaces libiconv in FreeBSD 10

While base iconv replaces libiconv in FreeBSD 10,
base iconv doesn't do utf-8 -> wchar_t, 
which is required by glib20, thus impacts thousands of ports.

An entry in the FreeBSD 10 Errata stating that iconv is now in the base
system,
however, that it does not include all the functionality of libiconv from
ports,
would help make port maintainers aware of iconv issues.
