What exactly does that mean? When I first read this, I thought, "Well, duh! If C++ is a requirement, then anyone wanting to interact with ICU will have a C++ compiler. If they didn't have one, they wouldn't use it." Or do you mean that ICU simply hasn't been approached (often) to provide a C-only implementation? -- Bryan C.
