libicu can't be dlopened thanks to their idiotic versioning scheme.

Given the size of our user base even 1% is a lot of people...

Why? Why would you need a real reason to build from source? Of
course if they have trouble doing that, we may suggest using binaries
instead, but I don't see why using binaries has to be some sort of
official policy. On the contrary, I think we should encourage as many
people as possible to build the source, that's the best way to find
compilation problems on strange setups.
