Thanks, I had already tried that through the mkbundle command line, without success.

I eventually ended up patching mkbundle.cs to include '-framework CoreFoundation -liconv'
and with that it works.

But that seems to be a heavy handed and inflexible approach and I'm wondering if it's
worth patching 'mkbundle' for a more general solution, either by specifying additional
libs on the command line or an environment variable to the same effect.

Thoughts?
Cheers,
