Is anyone using /usr/libicucore?
If so, can you tell me where I might find the header for this library?
I forwarded your question to our ICU expert, Deborah Goldsmith, and
got the response below. If you have additional questions about it
I'd suggest asking on carbon-dev, since I believe Deborah reads that
list.

Apple does not currently support direct developer access to ICU. We
are considering such support for a future release of Mac OS X.
It is possible to access ICU by downloading it from
icu.sourceforge.net, building it to produce the header files,
compiling against those headers, and then linking against /usr/lib/
libicucore.dylib. You need to be aware of the following:
1. You need to use the right version of ICU for the version of Mac OS
X you are using:
a. 10.2.x and earlier do not have ICU at all
b. 10.3.x has ICU 2.6
c. 10.4.x has ICU 3.2
For example, if you need to run on Panther, use the ICU 2.6 headers;
if you require Tiger, then you can use the 3.2 headers. If you need
to run on 10.2.x then you cannot rely on ICU being present.
2. You must not use draft or C++ APIs, or your application may crash
when run on future versions of Mac OS X. If you are using the ICU 3.2
headers (or later), you can do this to hide draft APIs:
#define U_HIDE_DRAFT_API 1
before including any ICU header files. Never include a C++ header file.
3. Apple does not support this usage of ICU. I think it will work,
but cannot make any guarantees.
