Tweak PHP_SETUP_ICONV from aclocal/acinclude.m4 to not PHP_ADD_INCLUDE $ICONV_DIR/include since the tests use test instead of AC_TRY_LINK to find headers which is bad, specially when adding /usr and /usr/local to the mix. Do basically the same with ext/iconv/config.m4 by tweaking PHP_ICONV_H_PATH which, again, uses test and absolute paths.
