OK, I can see the problem here. We fail to link against libiconv on OS X 
because it is no longer implicitly available after dependency on glib was 
removed.

There are at least three ways to solve this problem:
1) Modify configure.ac to explicitly add -liconv on OS X.
2) Add conditional code to voikko_ucs4tocstr and voikko_cstrtoucs4 to convert
   to/from UTF-8 using some other method if iconv is not available.
3) Wait until libvoikko 3.0 where support for encodings other than UTF-8 will
   be removed which will allow us to remove all use of iconv.

I would accept a patch that implements 1) if someone can write and test it.
