Yeah, I'm working on a solution that will only static link ICU. When 
it's ready, we'll see how well it functions.

Because ICU itself is written in C++. The moment I static link it into 
Wine (gdi.dll.so, to be specific), it develops a depndancy on stdc++.

Alexander - are you sure you don't want to put all the BiDi stuff into a 
seperate DLL?
