- (zbar requires [0] iconv)
- issues [1][3] compiling win-iconv:
- pre-existing issue: lots of "-Wincompatible-pointer-types" warnings when compiling zbar with win-iconv
- new debian means newer GCC
- new GCC changed that [2] warning type to "error"
- GNU libiconv works as an alternative
- drawback: win-iconv is more minimal, it uses the win32 API to do most of the work
- still, is a 25+ year old GNU project with one release every ~2 years, so IMO fine
