I'm not sure it's wanted. From what I hear/have seen, ICU is fat and bloated; That's why I chose using the libraries I chose when implementing the unicode-related text features, e.g, fribidi, harfbuzz, liblinebreak, which are considered lighter, faster and better designed. The real question is what do you feel you can't do with just locale/strftime. I'd like to see more information on what you are trying to achieve instead of how (ICU integration). Furthermore, what does this "integration" include? What do you plan on doing? In my opinion this is not needed at best, and should probably be avoided. With that being said, my opinions are based on the little information you provided. Please provide more information.
