Thanks Dave,

Examining the Windows build structure for XalanC-1.11, the
AllInOneWithICU project (XalanICU.sln Solution) seems to be broken!

The AllInOne project (Xalan.sln Solution) has limited support for ICU,
but I have been unable at this time to do any testing.  I don't
currently have a platform that uses IBM-ICU libraries.

I am wondering how well the Xerces_C (parser) with ICU integrates
into the Xalan-C (XSLT) platform.

Your comments are appreciated.

Sincerely,
