Hi! One thing of ICU we use and allows the user to use with CREATE COLLATION is the Unicode localization table variants (per country).
We used to strip almost everything and add the variants we used in ours builtin collations. User left with the task to ask us for add more or to substitute the DLL. Size of icudt30.dll was around 1,5 MB and 670 KB zipped. With new ICU, I tried to remove most of charsets (we use one from it) and the data we don't use (say, currency, etc). I left all collations variants in it. Size is around 5 MB and 1,5 MB zipped. Is this acceptable?
