OK, I've seen it now too; used to generate iconv_open-*.h from
iconv_open-*.gperf.  Brought in implicitly by gnulib.

It feels like an acceptable dependency to me, though.  Also, although
we could try to move some of this kind of building (assuming it really
is platform-independent) from make-time to autogen-time, I think that
would require quite a bit of work.
