You simply can not mix dll's with the static runtime - doing so will in 
almost all circumstances cause your application to crash.

Well... As of ICU-4.2, the names of the libraries are documented here: 
http://userguide.icu-project.org/icufaq#TOC-How-do-I-install-the-binary-version 
and match what the Jamfile assumes (and what I downloaded in the binary 
package), this information: 
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/tags/release-4-2-1/readme.html#HowToPackage 
also uses the same filenames, for example icuin.lib/dll and not 
icui18n.lib/dll.

Still missing something yours, John.
