I think I is necessary to tell parrot to work on a computer with utf-8 encoding
also with the same encoding, so that for example the following PASM-code works:
set S0, "Ö123\n"

I want to the library "icui18n" in the Makefile like the following line:
ICU_SHARED = -licui18n -licuuc -licudata -lpthread -lm
It is necessary to link Parrot with this library to use the
search-functions from ICU.

You are right. I forget to change the tests according.
If the change to "config/auto/icu.pm" should be applied the tests should
also be changed.
for example:
$icushared = qq{-licui18n -lalpha\n};
to
$icushared = qq{-lalpha\n};
