Thanks ... I've added that, documented the API, and added configure stuff to 
check for ICU version 4 or greater (since your code seems to need that version).
I haven't actually built/used the code though ... none of the systems I have 
access to has ICU version 4 (they all come with version 3.?) ... so I guess 
this code is mostly for people who are able/willing to build/install a recent 
ICU from source rather than using the package from their distribution?
