Subject: Unicode, internationalization, C++, and ICU


Now, assuming there's still anyone left reading this message...

We've been threatening to build ICU into parrot, and it's time for
that to start happening. Unfortunately there's a problem--it doesn't
work right now. So, what we need is some brave soul to track ICU
development and keep us reasonably up to date. What I'd really like
is:

1) ICU building and working
2) ICU not needing any C++

I've done some testing, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I
believe we have something of a problem. :-( The configure script turns out
to be a shell script which, unless I'm mistaken, means we're currently
unable to build ICU anywhere we don't have bash or similar. Win32 for
starters, which is where I'm testing.

This page give instructions for building on Windows--it doesn't seem to require installing bash or anything:

I assume that on Windows you don't need to run the configure script.
