(Currently I'm using 
FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #2: Tue Feb  7 01:30:38 MSK 2006)

The first thing I've noticed util.c still complains about undeclared
AF_INET as it was in 0.11.1. Yeah, I avoided it by including 
<sys/socket.h>. After that compilation ends successfully.
But --prefix switch still causes missing iconv support.
Here is a example of it from config.log:

But it's not only iconv related problem. Becuse --prefix switch just
wipes all -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib cflag that's encounters.
That's why I suppose configure script is broken in general on freebsd
or at least on 6.X.
Anyway the *workaround* solution is explicity override
--with-libiconv-prefix  and --with-libintl-prefix to /usr/local.
And it works on 0.11.2 as well as on earlier(0.11.0,0.11.1) versions 
that I saw. Dunno why I've not found this solution before. Sry for bother.

But either w/ prefix switch or w/o it userlist and browser list 
(users' filelists) still in non-converted charset regarding to variable
of microdc and chat messages. I guess this problem isn't for same thread.
