s/checking/check/
The patch looks good to me, though my knowledge of both iconv and
autoconf is relatively lacking. I'll assume it works on your system,
though. :)
One thing I noticed:

I wondered at first why not just:
return v[0] != 0xfe || v[1] != 0xff;
but the answer is that you are catching BOMs of either endianness. We
might at some point need to distinguish the two, but I think for the
purposes of OMITS_BOM, we don't have to care. So we can worry about that
later (if ever).
