Details

When setting up the RSS extension for devmo, I managed to miss the "iconv" part
of the following:

# Requires: 
#  * magpie rss parser <http://magpierss.sourceforge.net/>
#  * iconv <http://www.gnu.org/software/libiconv/>, see also
<http://www.php.net/iconv>

The magpierss stuff is all installed and working ok, but international
characters are getting garbled when run through the feedreader.
Quoting the php website, "You will need nothing if the system you are using is
one of the recent POSIX-compliant systems because standard C libraries that are
supplied in them must provide iconv facility."

It should already be installed. Let me know if you have a hard time getting it work.
