Iconv issues

I released a new version of FeedTools to address a couple of nagging issues. First, I finally tracked down the second issue with uninitialized constants (the first one was RUBYOPT). Thanks Benoit Domingue for all the help with that! Anyways, apparently, you also get the same error (or a similar one) if the iconv library is missing. FeedTools now drops a warn if you’re missing the iconv library instead of the completely unrelated ActiveSupport error you currently get with 0.2.8 and earlier.

I also updated the feed generation code to fix some issues with missing namespaces. You should now always see validating output from the generation methods.

There is also now a dependancy on UUIDTools because of the need to have proper unique ids for atom output.
