Hi.  The --without-libiconv-prefix is not the right parameter to do what
you want.  Try this instead:

./configure am_cv_func_iconv=no

Note that this cripples libidn and is generally untested.  Libiconv is
portable to Windows so it shouldn't be a big hurdle for you, I believe.
Libidn may print warnings in this mode, and, of course, will not be able
to convert non-UTF8 strings into UTF8 but use them verbatim instead.
