I realize it's easy to say, "It's not our responsibility to package/distribute lib icu", but I think that's a potentially slippery slope. I also think that as soon as we made lib icu *required* we made a commitment to make sure people can get libicu at least as easily as darcs itself. Could we have an option to install darcs without libicu? Since we're only using it for normalization it seems like some people might want to just forgo the normalization step and have a darcs without it.
Asking an obvious question in case the answer is not the one I'm expecting: Windows has a platform API for Unicode normalization, would it be easier to use a simple wrapper for the built-in Windows API when building on Windows?
(Aside: It seems to me that this should be a Haskell/GHC issue. It's increasingly rare to see language platforms not provide full Unicode support, including normalization. But what do I know?)
