So to use the Android versions I think we would have to build ICU as a static library as well as SQLite. And ICU is quite large. The implementations are in the file "sqlite3_android.cpp" (part of the Android source tree - should be possible to google it). They look quite self-contained, so if you were willing to build ICU as part of your app and hack around with the code you could probably get them to work without too much trouble.
