No the problem is that the list of libraries that ICU needs to link against 
is platform specific - that code would certainly break on Windows for 
example where there is no dl.lib (and no dlopen function either).  I could 
add -ldl to the command line on specific platforms I guess - Linux anyway - 
but ultimately I think this may best be solved by the user adding 
linkflags=-ldl to the command line.

HTH, John.
