I'm gonna take this one (unless Steven Schubiger is already working on it).
just as a generic hint, what should the #else (eg when PARROT_HAS_ICU is not defined) do?
a) consider everything ASCII and use the corresponding stdlib function b) always return NULL (or some approximation of NULL) c) complain to STDERR about ICU not being there d) coredump
