What I find most confusing is that the patch for adding ICU to postgres (using a configure switch) has been around for a while, at one point it was even in the queue for 8.2: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2005-08/msg00309.php It's vanished from there, not sure why. Even so, we still get regular requests for it. Presumably it was removed here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2006-03/msg00233.php Given the patch does nothing if you don't enable it, I'm not quite sure what the downsides would be...
