Yes.

Don't sweat it.

The regular one -- cygwin/release/*.  It's not x-specific.

But now that I look closer, you should probably refactor the .sh script 
to package things up "right" from the beginning:

release/iconv/
release/iconv/iconv-1.7-X.tar.bz2 (*)
release/iconv/iconv-1.7-X-src.tar.bz2

release/iconv/libiconv2/libiconv2-1.7-X.tar.bz2 (**)
release/iconv/libcharset1/libcharset1-1.7-X.tar.bz2 (**)

(*) contains everything except cygiconv-2.dll and cygcharset-1.dll
(**) the setup.hint file uses the 'external-source: iconv' incantation

I wouldn't bother with splitting out the "development" files into -devel 
packages -- iconv doesn't seem to version those as strongly as, for 
instance, libpng does.
