Would it make sense to remove the version number, just like we did with "frontends/qt4" -> "frontends/qt"? i.e., "3rdparty/libiconv/include/..."

On the other hand, I suppose it makes sense to keep the version number
if we want to bundle two iconv versions (e.g., if one does not compile
on an older GCC)?
