[Qt-interest] libiconv is used on Windows after all?

[Nikos Chantziaras]

For anyone coming across this and looking for the solution, to get this 
working on a Qt built with "-static -no-iconv", this is needed in the 
*.pro file:

   QTPLUGIN += qcncodecs qjpcodecs qtwcodecs qkrcodecs

And this anywhere in a source file:

   #include <QtPlugin>
   Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qcncodecs)
   Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qjpcodecs)
   Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qtwcodecs)
   Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qkrcodecs)
