Thanks, Brian and Simon.
Sorry if this question is a too basic: I'm trying to understand how does the
development cycle or R work. I am running here R 2.8.0 GUI 1.26 (5256) on Mac
OS X 10.5.6. The update to 2.8.1 released on 2008/12/22 is a pending task.
When this option/feature will be included in a dmg available at
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/?
At R 2.9.0 (scheduled for April 2009), or if Simon so chooses at R 2.8.2
(if there is such a version).
There is nothing to stop you building R from the sources yourself, and
there are nightly builds at r.research.att.com (I don't know if
R-2-8-branch builds will use --with-ICU in future: that's up to Simon).
Thanks you so much for your work,
Ricardo

Some of you will be aware that R ignores locale when collating strings on
Mac OS X: this arises from its inadequate FreeBSD-based wcscoll, whose man
page says
BUGS
The current implementation of wcscoll() only works in single-byte
LC_CTYPE locales, and falls back to using wcscmp() in locales with
extended character sets.
(and conventional Mac OS X locales are not 'single-byte' but UTF-8).
Apple ships a modified version of ICU (IInternational Components for
Unicode) for collation in its ObjC classes, and with Simon's help I have
added code to allow R to use this on Tiger and Leopard. This is now the
default in R-devel, and available in R-patched by configuring R with
--with-ICU.
This originally came up for European Spanish, so in the es_ES locale:
