Unfortunately, it turns out that this API is only available since Windows Vista. A separate DLL and header file are available for other versions of Windows, but then we´d have to bundle that. And if we bundle anyway, bundling ICU is probably a better idea (to use the same library on Windows and Unix). I´m now going to try to build text-icu on Windows to see if that can be done at all.
