Comment(by mail_ben_schmidt@…):
I have updated the patch to address the autoconf version and variant
issues.
A better way of testing for the ICU library might still be nice. I found
this which may help: http://ac-archive.sourceforge.net/ac-
archive/ac_check_icu.html
I'm also not 100% sure the patch is only effective for Unicode and doesn't
mess up other multi-byte encodings. Still, now it's a variant, if it does
mess something up, users can just turn it off. I did make the variant the
default, though, as I expect most users will just be pleased that Unicode
works as advertised. People might not even realise the issue has been
addressed if the only change is a quietly added variant. Better to
'advertise' the new functionality by making it the default; if it breaks
for some people, they'll soon find the problem and disable the variant.
IMHO.
Not sure how likely this is to get merged upstream on account of this
discussion: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-
general/2010-01/msg00535.php but I'm still hopeful.
