iconv.dll needed in addition to Riconv.dll for package XML (PR#13748)

Submission from: (NULL) (15.195.185.82)


package XML_2.5-1

library(XML) throws an error window saying:

"
RGui: RGui.exe - Unable to Locate Component
This application has failed to start becuase iconv.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
"

RGui then reports this:

 Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
   unable to load shared library 'c:/R/R-2.9.0/library/XML/libs/XML.dll':
   LoadLibrary failure:  The specified module could not be found.
  
 Error : .onLoad failed in 'loadNamespace' for 'XML'
 Error: package/namespace load failed for 'XML'



Indeed the error messages triggered by library(XML) seems to be a side effect of
a dll naming issue. This issue can be solve by _adding_ a copy of 
Riconv.dll  renamed as    iconv.dll
and restarting RGui
